For buildings, as defined in Section 1735.01, which have been determined to be a hazard to the public health, safety and welfare in accord with the procedure st out in Article 1735, any costs incurred by the City to rehabilitate or remove the offending structure shall constitute a lien against the property, without the necessity of obtaining a court order or judgment. Said lien may be filed in the office of the Clerk of the Wood County Commission and may be executed upon the same as any other judgment including, but not limited to the garnishment of wages or forced sale of the property, with the City becoming a lien holder first in priority. Said judgement is to cover only the actual costs and fees for the rehabilitation or demolishment of the property. Said lien shall take into consideration and it shall be credited against the amount of the lien the proceeds of the sale of any salvaged material. The City shall have the express power and authority to garnish wages with the Order of the Court. Once the costs of the City have been recovered, a release for th lien shall be filed with the County Clerk’s Office.
