   A.   In addition to the actions authorized by other sections of this chapter, the chief of the fire protection district, the president or any other village official whose duty it is to investigate fires, may make the investigation authorized by law. If such officer shall find that any building or structure is so occupied or situated as to endanger persons or property, or by reason of faulty construction, age, lack of repair or for any other cause is especially liable to fire, or is liable to cause injury by collapsing or otherwise, he shall order the dangerous condition removed or remedied, and shall so notify the owner or occupant of the premises. Service of such notice may be in person or by registered or certified mail, and any person so notified may appeal from the decision of such officer in the manner provided by law. (1984 Code § 4-1-7)
   B.   In addition to the actions authorized by other sections of this chapter, the village officials may proceed under the provisions of the Illinois municipal code by applying to the circuit court for an order to demolish or repair unsafe and dangerous buildings, or uncompleted and abandoned buildings, which said statute authorizes a lien when the village is compelled to take such action. The village officials may also proceed under the provisions of the Illinois municipal code which authorizes an injunction to require compliance with building, fire, health and safety standards. (1984 Code § 4-1-8)
