(a) Where the owner and/or tenant of any premises fails to comply with a notice of violation of any of the provisions of Sections 1351.16 through 1351.24 within the time period specified in such notice, the Zoning Officer shall cause such violation to be corrected, removed, or abated. The Zoning Officer may contract with a private person or firm to accomplish such task. The actual cost of bringing the property into compliance, plus fifteen percent (15%) for inspections and administration, shall be billed to the owner. If such bill is not paid within thirty days after submission, then the Fiscal Officer shall certify such costs, together with a ten percent (10%) penalty, to the County Fiscal Office for placement on the tax duplicate to be collected as other taxes for return to the Village.
(b) Where the owner and/or tenant of any premises fails to comply with a notice of violation of any of the provisions of Sections 1351.07 through 1351.15, such owner or tenant shall be considered to be in violation of this Code, and the Zoning Officer shall proceed at law to compel compliance and/or prosecute such violation.
(c) Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude the Zoning Officer from instituting appropriate action at law or in equity to restrain, correct, or abate a violation or to prevent, terminate, or limit occupancy or uses of structures or premises which are in violation.
