If the City deems it necessary to enter such premises to perform the work described in Section 1317.10, then the City shall first give written notice to the owner, occupant or other person in charge of such premises, to comply with the requirements of this chapter within the time specified in such notice.
In case of the failure or refusal of such owner, occupant or other person in charge of such premises to comply with such notice and the requirements of this chapter, then the work required thereby may be done at the expense of the City. The City then shall determine the amount paid for such work and shall ascertain the description of the property on which such work was done. Such amount paid for such work and the description of such property shall be certified to the County Auditor, and shall be entered upon the tax duplicate, become a lien upon such lands from the date of entry, and shall be collected as other taxes and returned to the City with the General Fund.
In the alternative, the City may recover the amount of money so expended for such work from the owner, occupant or other person in charge of such premises, before any court of competent jurisdiction.
