a. If any pavement which has been removed shall not be relaid to the satisfaction of the commissioner, he or she may cause an order to be served upon the person by whom such pavement was removed, or if such removal was for the purpose of making a connection between any house or lot, or for any sewer or pipes in the street, or for constructing vaults, or otherwise improving any house or lot, upon the owner or occupant of such house or lot, requiring such person, or the owner or occupant of such house or lot, to have such pavement properly relaid within five days after service of such order. Such order may be served upon the owner or occupant of a house or lot by leaving the same with any person of adult age upon the premises, or posting the same thereupon.

1. The commissioner shall certify to the comptroller the cost of such work with a description of the lot or premises to improve which such removal was made.
2. The comptroller shall certify the cost of such work to the city collector, who shall collect the same in the same manner that arrears and water rates are collected.
