(a) After final decisions on any requests for reconsideration or further appeals have been issued and the costs to abate have not been paid within 30 days of the notice of such decision, the costs of abatement shall be reported to the Safety Service Director, who shall mail a statement of the amount thereof to the owner of the property.
(1) If after 30 days such amount remains unpaid, the Safety Service Director shall certify the total amount of the expenses, the name of the owner of the land and a sufficient description of the premises to the County Auditor, to be entered on the tax duplicate, to be a lien on the land from the date of entry and to be collected as other taxes and assessments and returned to the City pursuant to Ohio R.C. § 731.54.
(b) The declaration of a nuisance property, an order to abate a nuisance, or the assessment of costs by the city on a property, do not affect or limit the city's right or authority to bring criminal prosecution or other legal action, including nuisance abatement and assessment as provided by law.
