(a) Upon the discovery of a condition which violates Section 1311.03, the Building Inspector may cause written notice of such condition to be served upon the person causing or permitting such condition to exist or be maintained, either personally or by certified mail addressed to such person at his or her last known address, or his or her tax mailing address, specifying a reasonable time within which such condition must be removed or abated.
(b) Upon the failure of such person to remove or abate such condition within the time specified in such notice, the Mayor may cause such condition to be removed or abated. Such removal or abatement may include the seizure and destruction or sale of property constituting or used in the maintenance of the condition, and the Mayor may enter into contracts on behalf of this Village for the removal or abatement of such condition.
(c) Any person failing to remove or abate a condition as stated in this section shall be liable to the Village for all costs of such removal or abatement. The charges incurred for the abatement of such condition shall be forwarded to the noncomplying person by delivering such notice to him or her personally or by certified mail sent to the tax mailing address of the owner of the lot, land or upon which such condition arose. If such charges are not paid within thirty (30) days after submission for payment they shall be certified to the County Auditor, who shall place the same on the tax duplicate of the County, with interest and penalties allowed by law, and such charges shall be collected along with real property taxes.
