(A) If the majority of the members of the Commission present at such hearing shall be of the opinion that the building in question is unfit for habitation or is unsafe, unsanitary, dangerous or detrimental to the public welfare, the Commission shall enter an order requiring that such building be closed or demolished, or in a proper case, setting forth such repairs as are considered necessary in order to make the building reasonably suited for human habitation, or to make it safe and sanitary and not dangerous or detrimental to the public. The order shall fix a date when such work shall be begun and a date for its completion, which latter date may, for cause, be extended. The owner may within the time fixed in the order therefor notify the Commission of his or her intention to comply with the order, in which case the work shall be done under the supervision of the city building official. When the work has been completed in accordance with the order of the Commission, an order shall be entered approving the work and closing the case. If the owner shall fail to proceed with the work in the manner or according to the schedule set forth in the order, it shall be duty of the Commission to take the work in hand and complete it as though the owner had never elected to perform it himself or herself.
(B) If within the time provided in the order the owner fails to notify the Commission of his or her election to do the work required, the Commission shall proceed to have such work done, either by contract or by the purchase of necessary material and the employment of workers and equipment.
