In addition to other lawful remedies, a Fire Prevention Inspector, together with workmen, may enter at any time any building or premises in the City for the purpose of eliminating a fire hazard, and he and they are hereby authorized and empowered to eliminate such fire hazard. The costs and expenses of the elimination of fire hazards shall be recoverable from the owner of such building or premises from which the hazard is eliminated, or from any person causing or maintaining the same in the same manner as fines and penalties for violation of an ordinance. The cost of removal may be entered as a lien against such property in accordance with existing provisions of law. (Ord. 33-1952 §8.)
