In case any owner, occupant, lessee, mortgagee, agent or other person having an interest in the building or structure shall fail, neglect, or refuse to comply with the notice by or on behalf of the city to repair, rehabilitate or demolish and remove a building or structure which is unsafe or dangerous and a public nuisance and fails to request a hearing on such determination, the city may proceed with the work specified in the notice to the property owner. A statement of the cost of such work shall be transmitted to the City Council, which is authorized to levy the cost as a special assessment against the property or recover in a civil action against the property owner(s) the costs and expenses of the work. Such special assessment shall be a lien on the real estate and shall be collected in the manner provided for special assessments under Nebraska statutes.
