(a) Upon the discovery of a condition which violates Section 1492.05, the Chief Building Official may cause written notice of such condition to be served upon the person causing or permitting such condition to exist or be maintained, or the owner of record, either personally or by certified mail addressed to such person at the last known address of such person, specifying a reasonable time within which such condition must be removed or abated. The notice shall advise the person of the right to appeal provided in Section 1492.07 of this chapter.
(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 of 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 a one hundred dollar ($100.00) administrative charge as well as 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 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.
