(a) If, after hearing the evidence presented at the hearing, the Building Commission determines that the building or structure in question is an unsafe building or structure as herein defined, the Commission shall order that it be repaired, altered, improved, vacated, closed, removed, or demolished, or any combination thereof, as the case may require, within a time to be set by the Commission and, if the owner or occupant of such building or structure does not comply with such order within the time specified, the municipality shall carry out the order and direction of the Commission and shall assess all costs of such repairs, alterations, improvements, or such vacating and closing or removal or demolition or any combination thereof to the owner of such building or structure, and such costs, after the sale of any and all salvaged material is credited to the account, shall be a lien against the real property upon which costs were incurred.
(b) All complaints or orders issued by the Building Commission shall be served in accordance with the law of the state concerning the service of process in civil actions, and shall, in addition thereto, be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises affected by the complaint or order.
(c) Any owner or occupant of any building or structure affected by any complaint or order of the Building Commission and the city shall have the right to apply to the circuit court for a temporary injunction restraining the Building Commission pending final disposition of the cause, as provided in W. Va. Code 8-12-16.
