Should a nuisance not be abated at the expiration of the time stated in the notice or within such additional time as the Building Inspector or the Board of Zoning Appeals may grant the owner, the Building Inspector shall have the right to enter upon the premises and to abate the nuisance found thereon. In abating such nuisance, he or she may go to whatever extent may be necessary to complete abatement of the same and, should it be practicable to sell or salvage any material obtained in the course of such abatement, he or she 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 Village and any difference between the amount so received and the cost of the abatement shall be levied as an assessment against the property in question, by Council, certified to the County Auditor and collected as any other assessment by the Village. Should the proceeds of the sale of such salvaged material exceed the cost of such abatement, the excess shall be paid to the owner of the premises in or on which such nuisance was abated, when his or her proper claim thereof is established. In abating such nuisance, the Inspector may call upon Village officials or employees for whatever assistance may be necessary or may, by private contract, obtain the abatement thereof, if such private contract may be let without any expense whatever to the Village.
