The City Administrator shall:
(A) Upon receipt of the report provided for in § 150.13(F) hereof, give written notice to the owner, occupant, mortgagee, lessee, agent, and all other persons having an interest in the building as shown by the land records in the County Court Clerk's office to appear before him on the date specified in the notice to show cause why the building or structure reported to be a dangerous building should not be repaired, vacated, or demolished in accordance with the statement of particulars set forth in the City Administrator's notice provided for herein in § 150.13(E).
(B) Hold a hearing and hear such testimony as the City Administrator or the owner, occupant, mortgagee, lessee, or any other person having an interest in the building as shown by the land records in the County Court Clerk's office shall offer relative to the dangerous building.
(C) Make written findings of fact from the testimony offered pursuant to division (B) as to whether or not the building in question is a dangerous building within the terms of § 150.10 hereof.
(D) Issue an order based upon findings of fact made pursuant to division (C) commanding the owner, occupant, mortgagee, lessee, agent, and all other persons having an interest in the building as shown by the land records in the County Court Clerk's office, to repair, vacate, or demolish any building found to be a dangerous building within the terms of this subchapter and provided that any person so notified, except the owners, shall have the privilege of either vacating or repairing the dangerous building; or any person not the owner of the dangerous building but having an interest in the building as shown by the land records in the County Court Clerk's office may demolish the dangerous building at his own risk to prevent the acquiring of a lien against the land upon which the dangerous building stands by the city as provided in division (E) hereof.
(E) If the owner, occupant, mortgagee, or lessee fails to comply with the order provided for in division (D) hereof, within ten days, the City Administrator shall cause such building or structure to be repaired, vacated, or demolished as the facts may warrant, under the standards hereinbefore provided for in § 150.11, and shall with the assistance of the City Attorney cause the costs of such repair, vacation, or demolition to be charged against the land on which the building existed as a municipal lien or cause such costs to be added to the tax duplicate as an assessment, or to be levied as a special tax against the land upon which the building stands or did stand, or to be recovered in a suit at law against the owner; provided, that in cases where such procedure is desirable and any delay thereby caused will not be dangerous to the health, morals, safety, or general welfare of the people of the city, the City Administrator shall notify the City Attorney to take legal action to force the owner to make all necessary repairs or demolish the building.
(F) Report to the City Attorney the names of all persons not complying with the order provided for in § 150.14(D) hereof.
