§ 52:27d-208.
a. If upon an inspection of a building, structure or premises the enforcing agency
discovers a violation of this act that constitutes an imminent hazard to the health,
safety or welfare of the occupants or intended occupants, fire fighters, or the public
generally, the enforcing agency may issue and cause to be served on the owner of the
building, structure or premises a written order directing that the building, structure
or premises be vacated, closed, or removed forthwith or that the violation be corrected
within the period specified in the order. The order shall state the nature of the violation and the date and hour by which
the building, structure or premises shall be vacated, closed or removed or the violation
shall be abated. b. The enforcing agency shall reinspect the building, structure or premises within
48 hours of receiving written notice from the owner of a building, structure or premises
vacated or closed, or ordered to be vacated or closed, stating that the violation
has been terminated. If, upon reinspection, the enforcing agency determines that the violation has been
terminated, it shall rescind the order requiring the vacation of the building, structure
or premises and occupancy may be resumed immediately; provided that if the reinspection
is not made by the local enforcing agency within 48 hours of the receipt of the notice,
the owner may apply to the department for a reinspection. c. If the owner of a building, structure or premises denies that a violation justifying
an order pursuant to this section to vacate, close, remove, or abate within a specified
time exists, the owner may apply to the commissioner or construction board of appeals,
as the case may be, for a reconsideration hearing. The hearing shall be conducted, and a final decision issued, within 48 hours of
the receipt of the request. Failure to issue a decision shall constitute denial of the owner's appeal, providing
that, in the case of an appeal to the construction board of appeals, if the hearing
is not held within 48 hours of the receipt of the request, the owner may apply to
the department for an administrative hearing and the decision shall be rendered by
the commissioner within 48 hours of the receipt of the application for the hearing.
