(A) After the City Council has enacted an ordinance determining a building or structure to be an unsafe building or structure and, as the case may be, a nuisance, and ordered it repaired, rehabilitated, vacated, or demolished, the City Clerk shall file a copy of the ordinance in the office of the Register of Deeds for recording, and the Building Inspector shall cause to be placed upon the building or structure a placard stating that the building or structure has been determined by the City Council to be an unsafe building and, as the case may be, a public nuisance, and has ordered the building or structure repaired, rehabilitated, vacated, or, as the case may be, demolished, and, if the City Council has ordered the building or structure vacated, that occupancy or use of the building or structure is unlawful.
(B) The placard shall be printed or typewritten upon cardboard or other material of equivalent durability, and be posted in two or more conspicuous places on the exterior of the building or structure. Upon completion of such posting, the Building Inspector shall sign and cause to be filed in the office of the City Clerk an affidavit, to which shall be attached and in which shall be incorporated by reference a copy of the placard, and which shall identify the building or structure upon which the notice was posted and the tract of land upon which the building or structure was situated, and shall specify the date of the posting and the locations of the posting upon the building or structure, and the person by whom the posting was done.
(C) It shall be unlawful for any person to deface or remove such placard.
