The Service Director shall examine or cause to be examined every building or structure or portion thereof reported as or believed to be an unsafe building as defined in Section 1323.01. The Service Director shall issue a citation to the owner or owners of record, including any purchaser under a recorded land contract. The citation shall specifically state the defects which cause the building to be unsafe. It shall also state that work must commence within 30 days (except in an emergency), either to complete specified repairs or improvements or to demolish and remove the building or structure, or portion thereof, leaving the premises in a clean, safe and sanitary condition. In cases of emergency making immediately repairs necessary, the Service Director may order the changes or demolition to be commenced within a shorter period than 30 days. The citation shall advise the owner that failure to remedy the conditions specified may result in condemnation proceedings. The final clean, safe and sanitary condition shall be subject to the approval of the Service Director.
