(a) To repair or to cause to repair, and where appropriate to rebuild and construct or cause to rebuild and construct, such building so that such building is not a dangerous and unsafe building, an uncompleted building, an abandoned building or an unfit building,
(b) To demolish or cause to demolish such building,
(c) To enclose or cause to enclose such building,

However, upon written application made to the City Council, time may be extended by Such City Council upon satisfactory proof that the owner has proceeded with and is proceeding with due diligence toward such completion. The date of giving such notice shall be the date of mailing, if mailed, or the date of delivery, if not mailed. If, upon diligent search, the identity or whereabouts of the owner or owners of any such building is not ascertainable, notice mailed to either an occupant of such premises or to the person or persons in whose name such real estate was last assessed is sufficient notice under this section.
