Upon a finding that a building is dangerous and unsafe, the Building Commissioner shall cause written notice to be served upon the owner or owners thereof, including the lienholders of record, by certified mail, personal service, or publication as provided by 735 ILCS 5/2-206 and 207. Such notice shall state that the building has been declared dangerous and unsafe and that the condition must be abated by the demolition, repair, enclosure or completion of the dangerous and unsafe building and/or the removal of garbage, debris and other hazardous, noxious or unhealthy substances or materials from said building. Said notice shall require the condition to be abated within forty-five days from the service of the notice or for a plan acceptable to the Building Commissioner for such abatement to be submitted within forty-five days from the service of the notice. Such plan must include a reasonable timetable and proof of sufficient funding to carry out same. Such a plan shall address each point as raised by the Building Commissioner and approval of such plan shall not be unreasonably withheld.
