(A) Whenever, in the judgment of the Board of Health, it shall be deemed necessary for the public’s health, the Board will, at once, take possession of any building, dwelling house, shed, outhouse, premises, or ground upon which, in its judgment, there exists any nuisance prejudicial to public health; and, if the owner or occupant shall refuse or neglect to forthwith abate the nuisance in the manner directed by the Board, the Board will cause the same to be abated forthwith in such a manner as it may deem proper, and all expenses incurred thereby shall be a legal claim against the owner and a lien upon the property, to be collected in the same way as other special assessments.
(B) The Board will also, when they deem it requisite for the public health, at once, and by force, if necessary, close up the aforesaid buildings or premises, and exclude all occupants therefrom, until the nuisance shall have been fully abated. Any person who shall resist the action of the Board or its agents under this rule shall be liable to the penalties hereinafter provided.
