1501.08 DEMOLITION OR REPAIR AT EXPENSE OF RESPONSIBLE PERSON.
   If any responsible person fails to comply with an order of the Chief of the Fire Prevention Bureau or a certified Fire Safety Inspector as finally affirmed or modified pursuant to Section 1501.06 within the time fixed in such order, then such officer may cause the building or premises to be repaired, torn down, demolished, materials removed or the conditions remedied, if such was the mandate of the order, at the expense of the responsible person. At least thirty days prior to the repairing, tearing down, or demolition of any building or premises, or to the removal of materials or the remedying of such conditions, the officer shall give notice by certified mail of his intention with respect to such building or premises to the holders of liens of record upon the real property on which such building or premises is located and to owners of record of such property. The holders of liens of record upon such property may enter into an agreement with the officer to perform the repair, tearing down, demolition, removal or other remedial action. If an emergency exists, as determined by the officer, notice may be given other than by certified mail and less than thirty days prior to such repair, tearing down, demolition, removal or other remedial action. If for any reason notice is not given, the liens provided for in this section are subordinate to any liens of prior record. If the responsible person, within thirty days thereafter, fails, neglects or refuses to pay the expense incurred in enforcing the order of the officer under this section, such officer shall certify the expenses, together with a twenty-five percent (25%) penalty thereon to the County Auditor and the Auditor shall enter such expense on the tax duplicate of such County as a special charge against the real estate on which such building or premises is or was situated and the same shall be collected as other taxes.
