531.04 ABATEMENT BY BUILDING INSPECTOR, ETC.
   Should the nuisance thereafter not be abated at the expiration of the time stated in the notice, or such additional time as the Building Inspector or the hearing officers provided for in Section 531.03 may grant, the Building Inspector shall have the right to enter upon the premises and to abate the nuisance found thereon. In abating such nuisance, he may go to whatever extent may be necessary to complete the abatement of the same and should it be practicable to sell or salvage any material derived in the aforesaid abatement, he may sell the same at private or public sale at the best price obtainable and shall keep an account of the proceeds thereof. Such proceeds, if any, shall be deposited in the General Fund of the City and any difference between the amount so received and the cost of the abatement shall be levied as an assessment against the aforesaid property, by Council, certified to the County Auditor and collected as any other assessment by the City. Should the proceeds of the sale of such salvaged material exceed the cost of such abatement, such excess shall be paid to the owner of the premises from which such nuisance was abated when his proper claim therefor is established. In abating such nuisance the Building Inspector, for whatever assistance may be necessary, may call upon other departments of the City or may, by private contract, obtain the abatement thereof, if such private contract may be let without expense whatever to the City.
