(A) In addition to the fines imposed under § 92.40, in non-emergency situations where abatement is not accomplished immediately by the town, failure, neglect or refusal of any party to abate a nuisance as required by the abatement notice shall authority the enforcement authority to obtain the permission of the Albany Town Council to abate the notice as set out in the abatement notice.
(B) Work may be accomplished by the town if the work is within its capacity to accomplish or the work may be advertised for public bid and awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder. An accurate accounting shall be kept of all costs incurred in abating the notice.
(C) Upon completion of the abatement, a statement for costs incurred, including fees and penalties, shall be forwarded to the record owner by certified mail. Should such costs remain unpaid 30 calendars after receipt by the owner of record or upon return of the certified mail as undeliverable, appropriate legal action may be taken to compel payment of costs incurred. Any judgment for costs obtained shall be filed as a judgment lien against the real estate upon which the nuisance was abated. In the alternative, the town may file a lien for the unpaid statement of costs on the real estate which was the subject of the nuisance.
