(A) Whenever the City Manager, Building Inspector, Fire Chief, or the Health Officer shall be of the opinion that any building or structure in the city is a dangerous building, he or she shall file a written statement to that effect with the City Council. The City Clerk shall thereupon cause written notice to be served upon the owner thereof, and upon the occupant thereof, if any, by registered mail or by personal service. Such notices shall state that the building has been declared to be in a dangerous condition and that such dangerous condition must be removed or remedied by repairing or altering the building or by demolishing it; and that the condition must be remedied at once. Such notice may be in the following terms:
“To (owner-occupant of premises) of the premises known and described as _____________.
You are hereby notified that (describe dangerous building) on the premises above mentioned has been condemned as a nuisance and a dangerous building after inspection by __________.
The causes for this decision are (here insert the facts as to the dangerous condition).
You must remedy this condition or demolish the building immediately or the city will proceed to do so.”
(B) If the person receiving such notice has not complied therewith or taken an appeal from the determination of the officer or employee finding that a dangerous building exists, within ten days from the time when this notice is served upon such person by personal service or by registered mail, the City Manager may, upon orders of the City Council, proceed to remedy the condition of or demolish the dangerous building.
