(EDITOR'S NOTE: See Section 202.99 for general Code penalty if no specific penalty is provided.)
In addition to the penalty provided in Section 202.99, any building which continues to be in violation of the provisions of this chapter after the owner or occupant thereof has been ordered by the Building Department Superintendent, or his or her designee, the Fire Chief, the Fire Marshall, or their designees, or the Ordinance Enforcement Officer to make the same comply or to demolish or remove such building, may, in the discretion of the Township Board, be made to comply or be demolished and removed by such Township Board or its agents, and the costs thereof shall be collected from the owner or occupant of said premises. If the owner or occupant refuses to pay such costs, the same may be assessed against the property of the owner or occupant and collected in the same manner as are taxes assessed under the general laws of the State of Michigan. The owner or occupant who pays such costs may collect from the person who caused such violation to exist, for such sum expended, in an appropriate action at law.
The foregoing remedies shall be in addition to the rights of the Township to proceed at law or in equity with other appropriate and proper remedies.
