Should the nuisance not be abated at the expiration of the time stated in the notice or order of the Enforcement Officer, or at the expiration of any extension granted, or at the expiration of such additional time as the Exterior Property Code Appeals Board may grant, the Enforcement Officer shall be authorized at any time thereafter to request a court to authorize entry to take such action as deemed appropriate to abate the nuisance, in addition to any remedies provided elsewhere in this Exterior Property Maintenance Code. In abating such nuisance, the Enforcement Officer may call on any department, division or contractor of the City for whatever assistance may be necessary to abate the aforesaid nuisance or may abate such nuisance by private contract, and the cost of the contract will be paid for from City funds. All costs for abating such nuisance shall be recovered in the following manner:
(a) The owner shall be billed directly by certified mail deposited with the United States Post Office. In the event the certified mail envelope is returned with endorsement showing that the envelope is unclaimed, then service shall be sent by ordinary mail, and the mailing shall be evidenced by a certificate of mailing which shall be filed by the Enforcement Officer.
(b) If the costs are not recovered within thirty days of receipt of the mailing described in subsection (a) hereof, the City may collect the cost in accordance with the Ohio Revised Code.
