    The decision of the hearing officer shall be in writing and shall contain findings of fact and a determination of the issues presented. If it is shown by a preponderance of the evidence that the condition of the premises constitutes a public nuisance, the decision shall require the owner to commence abatement of the nuisance not later than fifteen days after the issuance of the decision, and that the abatement be completed within such time as specified by the hearing officer, or in the alternative, within the time designated by the city manager. The decision shall inform the owner that if the nuisance is not abated within the time specified, the nuisance may be abated by the city without further notice in such manner as may be ordered by the city manager and the expense thereof made a lien on the property involved and/or a personal obligation.

    (b)

    The decision shall also inform the owner that the time for judicial review is governed by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1094.6. Copies of the decision shall be forthwith delivered to the parties personally or sent to them by certified mail. The decision shall be final when signed by the hearing officer and served as follows: the city manager shall serve a copy on the record owner, in the same manner as set forth in Section 12B-10 of this chapter, and one copy shall be served on each of the following, if known to the city manager or disclosed from official public records: the holder of any mortgage or deed of trust or other lien or encumbrance of record; the owner or holder of any lease of record; and the holder of any other estate or legal interest of record in the premises.

    (c)

    After any notice and order issued pursuant to this chapter shall have become final by failure to file a timely appeal or after hearing officer's decision on appeal is rendered, no person to whom any such order is directed shall fail, neglect or refuse to obey any such order. Any such person who fails to comply with any such order or decision is guilty of a misdemeanor.
