(A) Whenever such a situation is discovered, the Building Inspector or other responsible officer designated by City Council shall give five (5) days' written notice to remedy the situation. The notice shall be mailed to the last known address of the owner of the property, as it appears on the current tax assessment roll. Upon failure of the owner of the property to comply, the Building Inspector or other responsible officer designated by City Council is authorized to send employees upon the property to remedy the situation.
(B) The city shall have a lien against the property for the reasonable value of labor and materials used in remedying the situation. The affidavit of the Building Inspector or other responsible officer designated by City Council shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of the lien and the regularity of the proceedings pursuant to this chapter, and shall be recorded in the office of the County Court Clerk. The lien shall be notice to all persons from the time of its recording and shall bear interest at 6% per annum, the maximum permitted, until paid.
