If the owner, person, or entities that claim an ownership interest in the land and building or structure, or the agent or person in control of the building or structure or portion thereof for which a notice of violation and order has been issued pursuant to Section 1341.03 cannot be found within the stated period of time or has not appealed such notice and order, and fails, neglects or refuses to comply with such notice and order, the Building and Zoning Inspector may take any necessary action to demolish and remove the unsafe building or structure or may advise the Director of Law of the facts in the case. The Director may, in the event that he believes that such notice and order cannot be effectively given due to the incompetency or disability of such owner, agent or person in control, institute action in a court of competent jurisdiction to accomplish the purposes of this chapter. The Inspector shall, in addition, give written notice informing the owner, or person or entities that claim an ownership in the land and building or structure, or agent or persons in control of the building or structure, mortgagee of record and any lien holder of record of the City’s intention to repair and rehabilitate or demolish and remove the unsafe building or structure at least thirty days prior to such intended action by the City, provided, however, that in the cases of emergency set forth in Section 1341.07, less than thirty days notice may be given.
