(B) In addition to any other penalties or remedies available, the village is authorized and empowered to direct the property owner to remove or otherwise abate the nuisance. If such notice is given, it shall be in writing, addressed to the property owner as it appears on the latest ad valorem property tax assessment roll, or current owner if such is different and known to the village and be mailed via first class or posted at the property in violation, and shall inform the property owner of the following:
(1) The nature of the violation/nuisance; and
(2) The time in which the violation/nuisance must be abated.
(C) Upon failure, neglect or refusal of any property owner to comply with the provisions of this subchapter, the village or its authorized contractor, or other designee, is authorized and empowered to enter the property owner's property to abate the nuisance, or to provide and to make payment for the abatement of the nuisance maintained.
(D) When the village abates a nuisance as provided herein, the cost of any abatement, including legal expenses and the authorized administrative fee, will be billed to the property owner. The cost and fee will be a debt of the property owner to the village.
(E) The failure to receive the notice as provided for in division (B) of this section is not a defense to any action brought by a member of the public for injury or by the village to collect the costs of abatement or impose penalties or other fees authorized by this subchapter.
(F) The Village Manager may suspend or revoke any permit and order any permitted work to cease by serving notice of such action and the reason therefore. The Village Manager may also order the permittee to remove or correct work that threatens health, welfare or safety. If a permittee fails to remove or correct the work, the village may remove or correct the same and the permittee shall be responsible for all costs and expenses the village incurs to do so. This remedy shall be in addition to all remedies available to the village under this subchapter, at law or in equity.
