(a) In abating any unlawful condition pursuant to the provisions of Section 1331.05, the Village Superintendent may take such action as is necessary to complete the abatement of the same and may utilize any labor or equipment of the Village or may contract for the abatement thereof, if such contract may be let without any expense whatever to the Village. Should it be practicable to sell or salvage any material resulting from the abatement the Village Superintendent may cause the same to be sold at public or private sale at the best price obtainable and shall keep an account of the proceeds thereof.
(b) Such proceeds shall be deposited in the General Fund of the Village and, if the amount received is less than the cost of the abatement, the Village Superintendent shall report the matter to Council, which shall levy an assessment for the deficiency against the premises upon which such unlawful condition was abated and cause such assessment to be certified and collected as other assessments by the Village.
(c) Should the proceeds of the sale of any material salvaged in the course of such abatement exceed the cost thereof, the amount of such excess shall be paid to the owner of the premises upon filing of a claim therefor and proof of title and right to such surplus.
