§ 156.09 Emergency Orders

Whenever the inspector, in the enforcement of the Housing Code, finds that a condition exists which requires immediate action to protect the health or safety of the occupants and/or the general public, the inspector may, without notice or hearing, issue an order reciting the existence of such a condition and requiring that action be taken such as the inspector deems necessary to abate the condition. If necessary, the Director may order that the premises be vacated forthwith, and said premises shall not be reoccupied until the order to make repairs has been complied with. Notwithstanding other provisions of the Housing Code, such order shall be effective immediately or in the time and manner prescribed by the order itself.
