The Board shall advise the Code Official so that appropriate action may be instituted to cause the building, structure or premises to be repaired or demolished.
(b) Should the owner fail, neglect or refuse to pay the costs so incurred in complying with the provisions of this chapter, the costs shall be paid by the City out of the treasury on the certificate of the Code Official and the Director of Finance shall then certify the amount so paid to the County of Summit Fiscal Officer. The Fiscal Officer shall enter the amount on the tax duplicate of County of Summit as a special assessment against the real estate on which the building, structure or premises is situated.
