(a) Whenever the owner, agent, occupant or operator of a structure or premises fails, neglects or refuses to comply with any notice of the Building Commissioner or any of his or her assistants, the Building Commissioner or any of his or her assistants may issue a notice to such owner, agent, occupant or operator ordering the structure or premises or part thereof to be vacated, or he or she may advise the Director of Law of the circumstances and request the Director of Law to institute an appropriate action at law to compel compliance, or both. Such notice shall be delivered, mailed or posted in the same manner as provided in Section 1383.04.
(b) Whenever the owner, agent, operator or occupant of a structure or premises fails, neglects or refuses to comply with a notice to vacate issued by the Building Commissioner or any of his or her assistants, the Building Commissioner or any of his or her assistants may request the Director of Law to enforce the orders of such notice of vacation to cause the structure or premises or part thereof to be vacated in accordance with the terms of such notice. However, nothing herein shall be construed so as to preclude the Building Commissioner or the Fire Chief from enforcing the penalty provided for in Section 1383.99 against any person who violates any provision of this Code or any order or notice made under or pursuant to this Code.
(c) Whenever the owner, agent or operator of a structure fails, neglects or refuses to comply with a notice to demolish such structure or a part thereof or a secondary or appurtenant structure, issued in accordance with the provisions of this Code, and when such structure is determined by the Building Commissioner to constitute a public nuisance in that it is injurious to the public health, safety or welfare, the Building Commissioner may request the Director of Law to prepare legislation stating such determination and authorizing the Mayor or Building Commissioner to enter into a contract for the demolition of such structure or part thereof or to take such other action as may be necessary to abate the nuisance. The Building Commissioner shall further give notice informing the owner, agent or operator of such determination and action. Such notice shall be given in the same manner as provided in Section 1383.04. (Ord. 91-28. Passed 4-1-91.)
