(a) For the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this chapter, the Building Inspector, or any person designated by him, is authorized and empowered at any reasonable time to enter upon and inspect any premises or property when he has reasonable cause to believe that a public nuisance as defined in this chapter exists.
(b) In addition to the penalties provided for the violation of Section 1329.02(c), the Building Inspector may cause written notice of the violation of such section to be served personally upon the owner, occupant or person having charge of the property involved, or by sending it to the person by certified mail or by posting a copy thereof at a conspicuous place on the premises or property involved. The notice shall state the nature of the public nuisance and the time, not less than fifteen days, within which it shall be abated. No person so notified shall fail or refuse to comply with the notice. If the public nuisance is not abated within the required time, the Building Inspector may then cause it to be abated and the cost thereof shall be reported to the Treasurer who shall certify it to the County Auditor to be placed upon the tax duplicate and collected as taxes are collected.
