A. Notice to Abate: Whenever the Health and Building Officer or the Fire Chief shall be of the opinion that any building or structure in the City is a dangerous building, he shall file a written statement to this effect with the City Clerk. The Clerk shall, thereupon, cause written notice to be served upon the owner thereof and upon the occupant thereof, if any, by registered mail or by personal service. Such notice shall state that the building has been declared to be in a dangerous condition, and that such dangerous condition must be removed or remedied by repairing or altering the building or by demolishing it, and the condition must be remedied at once. Such notice shall be in the form prescribed by law.
B. Abatement by City: If the person receiving the notice has not complied therewith or taken an appeal from the determination of the officer or employee finding that a dangerous building exists, within ten (10) days from the time when this notice is served upon such person by personal service or registered mail, the Health and Building Officer may, upon orders of the City Council, proceed to remedy the condition or demolish the dangerous building.
