Should a public nuisance not be abated by the expiration date stated in the notice to abate or in the special building permit issued to abate the nuisance, or in such additional time as the Hearing Board may grant, the Code Administrator is authorized, at any time thereafter, to enter upon the premises and the owner shall permit him entry to abate the nuisance by demolition and removal of the structure or by taking any other action as may be required provided the requirements of Ohio R.C. 715.26(B) have been complied with.
In abating the nuisance the Code Administrator may call upon any department, division or bureau of the City for whatever assistance may be necessary; or the Code Administrator may, by private contract, obtain the abatement, and the cost of such private contract shall be paid for from City funds specifically authorized by Council to abate the nuisance.
In abating the nuisance, the Code Administrator may go to whatever extent necessary to complete the abatement and the cost of the abatement action shall be recovered from the owner in the following procedure:
(a) The owner shall be billed directly by certified mail for the cost of the abatement. The bill for the cost of the abatement shall be paid within sixty days after receipt of the bill.
(b) If costs are not so recovered then the City shall cause the cost of the abatement to be levied as an assessment and recovered in accordance with Ohio R.C. 715.261. (Ord. 5760. Passed 12-5-68.)
