(a) Should the nuisance not be abated within the period allowed and stated on the special building permit issued by the Code Enforcement Officer or within such additional time as the Hearing Board may grant, the Mayor is authorized, at any time thereafter, to enter upon the premises to abate the nuisance by demolition and removal of the structure or by taking any other such action as may be required. No owner shall deny the Mayor or his agent the right of entry upon the premises for such purposes.
(b) In abating the nuisance the Mayor may call upon any department of the Village for whatever assistance may be necessary or may, by private contract, obtain the abatement thereof. The cost of such private contract shall be paid for from Village funds specifically authorized by Council in order to abate such public nuisance.
(c) In abating such nuisance the Mayor may go to whatever extent is necessary to complete the abatement of the same and the cost of the abatement action shall be recovered from the owner as follows:
(1) The owner shall be billed directly by certified mail, for the cost of the abatement. The bill of the cost of the abatement shall be paid within sixty days after receipt of the bill.
(2) If the cost is not so recovered, then the Village shall cause such cost to be levied as an assessment and recovered in accordance with Ohio R.C. 715.261. (Ord. 18-92. Passed 7-21-92.)
