When the Building and Zoning Officer has determined that a violation of this subchapter exists, the Building and Zoning Officer shall, in writing, notify the property owner, tenant, operator or other party responsible for managing and/or maintaining the offending property of the specific violation and that compliance with this subchapter must be established or restored within 15 days from the date of the written notice. The notice shall further provide that the notified party or agent shall have the opportunity to be personally heard by the Building and Zoning Officer within said period, and failure to request a hearing shall waive the opportunity to be heard. The failure of the owner, operator or other responsible party to comply with the notice and the provisions of this subchapter within the time prescribed shall authorize the Building and Zoning Officer to do or to cause such work to be done and to bill the owner, operator or other responsible party for the actual costs of the service rendered, and demand payment be made within 30 days of the billing date. The failure of the owner, operator or other responsible party to pay said bill shall be a lien upon the real estate until paid in full.
