(2) The owner shall comply with the order within the time period allocated.
(3) The public nuisance notice-order, once issued by the Zoning Inspector, or his or her designated representative, is against the property and runs with the property notwithstanding any change(s) in the titled ownership of the property.
(4) Notification of the notice-order shall be promptly given to the Wood County Health Department.
(c) The Zoning Inspector or his or her designated representative, is authorized to abate the public nuisance upon expiration of the time period allotted the owner for abatement of the nuisance.
