If an owner, agent or person in possession, charge or control of a building or structure or part thereof, when so directed, fails, neglects or refuses to place such building or structure or part thereof occupied by him or her, or under his or her control, in a safe condition, and to adopt such measures as have been specified by the Building Inspector within a reasonable time, then the Building Inspector may cause such building to be vacated, preventing the use of such building for any purpose whatever, until the same is placed in a safe condition by the owner. If such building or structure is dangerous to adjoining property, the Building Inspector may order or cause such work to be done as may be necessary to remove the existing danger, charging the expense of such operations upon the tax duplicate as a lien against such property.
