(A) Rehabilitate or demolish. The owner, agent, or other person responsible shall, within 15 days after a written notice, pursuant to division (B) of this section, is mailed, served or published, rehabilitate the structure and make it fit for human habitation or for commercial or other authorized uses, or, in the alternative shall demolish and remove same. The time period may be extended for good cause, upon written application to the Building Inspector, where the public health, safety and welfare are not endangered.
(1969 Code, § 6-53)
(B) Notice. A written notice shall be mailed or served upon the owner or his or her agent, and all lien holders of record, by registered mail, personal service, or publication. Notice as provided in § 154.04 of this Code, shall satisfy this condition. In the event, upon diligent search, the identity or whereabouts of the owner or owners of the building, including lien holders of record, is not ascertainable, notice mailed to the person or persons in whose name the real estate was last assessed is sufficient notice. If notice is served by publication, notice shall also be posted at the premises. The notice shall state the date of the vacation order, the date by which repair or demolition must be commenced, and that if no action is taken the Building Inspector shall cause the building to be demolished and removed and costs shall be charged against the real estate upon which the building is located and shall be a lien upon that real estate.
