(a) When the Chief Building Official is of the opinion that a building or structure is in an unsafe condition so that life is endangered thereby, he may order and require the inmates and occupants to vacate such building or structure forthwith.
(b) He shall cause to be posted at each entrance to such building a notice to read as follows:
"THIS BUILDING IS UNSAFE AND ITS USE OR OCCUPANCY HAS BEEN PROHIBITED BY THE CITY CHIEF BUILDING OFFICIAL."
Such notice shall remain posted until the required repairs are made or until the building or structure is razed. It shall be unlawful for any person, other than an employee of the Building Department properly authorized to do so, to remove or cause to be removed such notice without written permission from the Chief Building Official.
(c) It shall be unlawful for any person, other than those authorized by law, to enter a building or structure which has been posted as unsafe for the use or occupancy by the Chief Building Official, except for the purpose of making the required repairs or of demolishing such building or structure, or authorized utility company representatives to remove utility equipment.
(d) The Chief Building Official may, when necessary for public safety, temporarily close sidewalks, streets, buildings, structures and places adjacent to such buildings or structures, and prohibit the same from being used. Notice of any temporary closing of streets, sidewalks or building, shall be properly posted, however, in case of an emergency such notice may be waived.
