Where the owner and/or occupant of any premises fails to comply with a notice of violation of any of the provisions of Sections 1349.20 through 1349.23, within the time period specified in such notice, the Property Maintenance Officer shall cause such violation to be corrected, removed or abated. The Property Maintenance Officer may contract with a private person or firm to accomplish such task. The actual cost of bringing the property into compliance plus twenty-five percent (25%) for inspections and administration and other costs in connection therewith shall be billed to the owner. If such bill is not paid within thirty days after submission, then the Director of Finance shall certify such costs to the County Auditor for placement on the tax duplicate to be collected as other taxes for return to the City.
