If, as a result of a critical examination under Section 13-96-840 or an inspection by an authorized city official, the building commissioner determines that any exposed metal structure or other structure or equipment regulated under this Article XVIII, or its supporting structure, is in unsafe condition or in need of repair or reinforcement, the building commissioner shall so notify the owner, agent, or person in charge of the applicable building or structure. Such notice shall be accompanied by an order from the building commissioner directing such owner, agent or person in charge to (1) immediately take whatever temporary action is required, including, but not limited to, temporary repairs, temporary reinforcements or other appropriate precautionary measures, to protect the public safety until such time that the exposed metal structure or other structure and equipment regulated under this Article XVIII, and its supporting structure, is restored to good and safe condition or is removed, and (2) begin and complete, without undue delay, any permanent repairs, permanent reinforcements or other permanent measures required to bring the exposed metal structure or other structure and equipment regulated under this Article XVIII, and its supporting structure, into compliance with the Chicago Building Code, which measures may include permanent removal of the structure or equipment or its supporting structure.
