For failure to comply with the terms of all applicable laws, the building official, fire chief, or city council may revoke a license authorized by this chapter and revoke a certificate of occupancy for those units or structures in violation.

(b)

If the building official or fire chief revokes a license or certificate of occupancy, the owner or manager may appeal the revocation to the construction board of appeals. Certificate of occupancy appeals shall be handled in accordance with the provisions set forth in Section 112 of the 2003 International Building Code with the exception that the appeal shall be in writing, filed with the building official within seven (7) calendar days of such revocation.

(c)

Failure of any person to file an appeal in accordance with this section is a waiver of his or her right to a hearing and the building official's or fire chief's decision shall be final.

(d)

The revocation of a certificate of occupancy by the building official or fire chief is stayed pending appeal.

(e)

Public utilities discontinued. If an owner's certificate of occupancy is revoked in any manner, the city may notify all public utility companies serving the building that the certificate of occupancy for the units in violation has been withdrawn and request that all public utility services be discontinued from those units in violation.
