Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer determines that a building, structure or other premise is dangerous, as set forth in § 1424.07, he or she shall:
(a) Affix to such dangerous structure, or portion thereof, upon the door or entrance thereto, a placard on which shall be printed a declaration that such building, structure or other premises, or portion thereof, is insecure, unsafe or structurally defective, and ordered to be vacated. No person shall deface or remove the placard from any dangerous structure or part thereof which has been condemned as insecure, unsafe or structurally defective and placarded as such. The Code Enforcement Officer shall remove such placard whenever the defect, upon which the condemnation and placarding were based, has been eliminated.
(b) Serve the emergency order, pursuant to § 1424.06, on all holders of legal or equitable liens of record upon the real property on which such unsafe structure is located and the owners of record of such property, as shown by the land records of the Hamilton County Recorder. The notice and order shall state that:
(1) The owner or lien holders must repair and/or vacate such building in accordance with the terms of the notice and the provisions of this Building and Housing Code;
(2) The owner or lien holders may enter into an agreement with the municipality to perform the removal or repair of the insecure, unsafe or structurally defective building.
