(A) If the property owner does not perform an action required under this subchapter within a reasonable time after written notice, the city may perform the required action and assess the costs against the property for collection in the same manner as a property tax. Notice shall be by certified mail or other personal service to the address of the property owner as well as the occupant of the premises as shown by the records of the County Auditor. The notice shall describe the violation and location of the violation, state the act(s) necessary to cure the violation, state the time within which action is required, and state that if the violation is not cured and no request of hearing is made within a set period of time, the city will assess costs as set forth above.
(B) In an emergency, the city may perform any action which may be required under this subchapter without prior notice if it is deemed an imminent hazard to the safety and well-being of the public and assess the costs as provided in this section after notice to the property owner and hearing. All action taken by the city without notice to the property owner is done at the city's expense and shall not be assessed to the property owner.
