At their next regular meeting, the Mayor and Council shall:
(A) Hold a hearing at which they shall hear testimony and receive other evidence as the Building Inspector, owner, occupant, mortgagee, lessee and other persons having an interest in the building shall offer relative to the dangerous building;
(B) Make written findings of fact as to whether or not the building in question is a dangerous building; and
(C) If warranted, pass a resolution declaring the building to be unsafe because of one or more violations of this code, and commanding the owner, occupant, mortgagee, lessee, agent and all other persons having an interest in the building to repair, vacate or demolish the building; provided that any person so notified, except the owners, shall have the privilege of either vacating or repairing the dangerous building. Any person not the owner but having an interest therein may demolish the dangerous building at that person’s risk to prevent the acquiring of a lien against the land by the city.
