Such complaint shall contain a notice that a hearing will be held before
such official or his designated agent at a place and time therein fixed, which
time shall be not less than 10 days nor more than 30 days after service of the
complaint; that the owner, mortgagee or party in interest may each file an
answer to the complaint and appear in person or otherwise at such hearing to
give testimony; and that the rules of evidence prevailing in courts of law or
equity are not controlling in such hearing.
(b) SERVICE OF COMPLAINT. Service of such complaint shall be by per sonal
service or registered mail upon the owner of record, every mortgagee of record
and every party in interest. Where service is by registered mail, the date of
service of such complaint shall be the date on which he actually receives such
complaint.
If the whereabouts of arty such person in unknown and the same cannot be
ascertained by the Building Official in the exercise of reasonable diligence,
and the Building Official makes an affidavit to that effect, service of such
complaint may be made by publishing the same once each week for two consecutive
weeks in a daily newspaper printed and published in the County.
A copy o£ such complaint shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the
premises affected by the notice. A copy of such complaint shall also be
filed with the registrar of conveyances or, in the case of registered land,
with the assistant registrar of the Land Court as provided in Section 501-
136, Hawaii Revised Statutes.
(c) HEARING AND ORDERS. After service of such complaint, a hearing shall
be held before the Housing Advisory and Appeals Board. After the hearing, the
Board shall state its findings of fact, conclusions of law, decision and order
in writing. I£ the Board finds that the building or portion o£ the building is
substandard, it shall order such building or portion to be vacated and repaired
or rehabilitated in such manner and in such respects as to render such building
or portion not substandard and may require that such repairs or rehabilitation
- ~ -
be commenced within thirty (30) days and completed within ninety (90) days
after service of such order, or within such further time as such the Board
may allow. If the cost of such repairs or rehabilitation exceeds 75 per cent
of the cost of replacement of the entire building or portion, the Board shall
order such building or portion, demolished and removed.
Such findings of fact, conclusions of law, decision and order and written
findings shall be served, posted on the affected premises and filed with the
registrar of conveyances or assistant registrar of the Land Court in the same
manner as the complaint.
Such hearing shall be conducted in accordance with, and such findings of
fact, conclusions of lax, decision and order shall conform to, the provisions
of Chapter 91, Hawaii Revised Statutes relating to administrative procedure.
For the purposes hereof, the Housing Advisory and Appeals Board shall have
the power to administer oaths, examine witnesses, receive evidence and issue
subpoena.
(d) FAILURE TO OBEY ORDER. If the owner fails to comply with an order oP
the Board to vacate and/or repair, rehabilitate or demolish and remove the
building or portion of a building, and no injunction or restraining order enjoin-
ing or restraining such official from carrying out provisions of the order has
been issued by a Circuit Court pursuant to the provisions of Section 53-60(e),
Hawaii Revised Statutes, the Building Official may cause such building or portion
to be vacated and perform the work required by such order.
The cost of any such vacation, repairs, rehabilitation or demolition and
removal shall be a lien against the real property upon which such cost was
incurred. Where the building or portion of a building is demolished and removed,
the Building Official shall sell the materials of such building or portion and
shall credit the proceeds of such sale against the cost of the removal of
demolition; any balance remaining, if such proceeds should exceed such cost,
shall be deposited with the Clerk of the Circuit Court of the Third Circuit,
- 21 -
State of Hawaii, and disbursed in accordance with the provisions of Section
53-60(b)(6), Hawaii Revised Statutes.
(e} Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection (d) above, the County
of Hawaii by its Corporation Counsel may institute any legal or equitable
proceeding to enjoin any violation of this Code or abate any public nuisance,
provided that nothing in this Code shall be construed to prohibit criminal
prosecution of any violation of this Code.

unconstitutional or invalid, the other separable parts thereof shall not be
affected thereby."
