Any building or structure or part thereof erected in violation of this chapter, or any building or structure which, because of fire or other casualty or deterioration from any cause whatsoever, shall become unsafe or dangerous, or any building which is abandoned or is uncompleted in its construction, or any building or structure which fails to conform to the minimum standards of health and safety established by this Code and applicable ordinances of this Village shall be deemed a nuisance. When such nuisance is found to exist, the Village Manager shall mail or deliver a notice thereof to the owner or his agent, and the lienholders of record and post notice on the property upon which said nuisance is located, specifying wherein said building construction is nonconforming, unlawful or unsafe.
