Got experience defending a substandard property notice?

Has anyone got a Notice of Hearing from the city for a Substandard property?

I've been working on getting the permits for an investment property (fix-and-flip), and recently got a Notice of hearing stating to "show cause why the building or structure located at xxx should not be declared to be substandard and why you should not be ordered to repair or destroy the building structure". The residential property indeed is in a crappy condition, but that's the whole point of purchasing it, to fix it. 

I have almost all the permit package and will be submitting it to the city soon, but was wondering if any one had any tips/suggestions/experience with such notices. This is for the city of McKinney, TX.
