(a) No person shall fail to comply with the order of the Building, Housing and Zoning Administrator, or the order of the Board of Zoning Appeals in case of appeal, within the time stated in the order, or within such additional time as the Board may grant. In the event of such failure, the Administrator is hereby authorized, at any time thereafter, to enter upon such premises for the purpose of abating such nuisance by demolition and removal of the structure or by taking any other action that may be required.
(b) In abating such nuisance the Administrator may call upon any department or division of the City for whatever assistance may be necessary, or may, by private contract, executed by the Mayor on behalf of the City, obtain the abatement thereof, and the cost of such private contract shall be paid from City funds specifically authorized by Council for such purpose.
(c) In abating such nuisance the Administrator may go to whatever extent necessary to complete the abatement and the cost of such action shall be recovered from the owner by the following procedure:
(1) The owner shall be billed directly by certified mail for the cost of the abatement. The bill for the cost of the abatement shall be paid within thirty (30) days after receipt of the bill.
(2) If costs are not so recovered then the cost of the abatement shall be levied as an assessment and recovered in accordance with Ohio R.C. 715.261, after authorization is received by motion of Council.
