(b) Whenever the owner, agent, operator or occupant of a structure or premises fails, neglects or refuses to timely comply with a notice to vacate issued by the Building Commissioner, the Commissioner may enforce the orders of such notice of vacation and cause the structure or premises, or part thereof, to be vacated in accordance with the terms of such notice.
(c) Whenever the owner, agent or operator of a structure or premises fails, neglects or refuses to comply with a notice to demolish such structure, or a part thereof, or a secondary or appurtenant structure, issued in accordance with the provisions of this Housing Code, and when such structure is determined by the Building Commissioner to constitute a public nuisance in that it is dangerous or injurious to the public health, safety and welfare, he may request the Director of Law to institute legal proceedings or to take such other action as may be necessary to abate the nuisance. The Commissioner shall further give notice, in the same manner as provided in Section 1345.03, informing the owner, agent or operator that unless a timely appeal is filed pursuant to law, such determination and action shall be implemented.
