   If the Owner fails to abate the nuisance condition within the time required by this chapter, the Zoning Inspector shall be authorized at any time thereafter to enter on the premises and the Owner shall permit him entry to abate the nuisance by demolition and removal of the structure. In abating such nuisance, the Zoning Inspector may call on any department, division, or bureau of the Village for whatever assistance may be necessary to abate such public nuisance as aforesaid, or may, by private contract, abate such public nuisance and the cost of the work or the contract will be paid for from Village funds specifically authorized by Council to be used for that purpose. The cost of abating such public nuisance shall be recovered in the following manner:
(a)    The Owner shall be billed directly by certified mail for the cost of abating such public nuisance. The bill for the cost thereof shall be paid within sixty days after receipt of the bill.
(b)    If the Owner does not pay within that time, the Village may collect the costs by either of the following methods:
(1)   The Village may cause the costs of abating such public nuisance to be levied as an assessment and recovered in accordance with Ohio R.C. 715.261.
(2)    The Village may commence a civil action to recover the cost from the Owner as provided in Ohio R.C. 715.261.
   Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the building is "subsidized housing," as defined in Ohio R.C. 3767.41(A)(7), then any additional proceedings shall be pursuant to Ohio R.C. 3767.41.
