§ 5-111. Remedies of city.  


Latest version.
  • In any case where the buildings hazard board or the city council orders a substandard building or structure repaired or demolished and cleared or removed, and the owner of any such premises or building or structure which is substandard fails to correct, remedy or remove such condition, and the owner or duly authorized representative of the owner shall have exhausted his rights and remedies under this article, the city council may order such work or make such improvements as are necessary to correct, remedy or remove such conditions, or cause the same to be done, and pay therefor and charge the expenses incurred thereby to the owner of such lot or premises. Such expenses shall be assessed against the lot or real estate upon which the work was done, the improvements made or the demolishing and cleaning or removal of substandard buildings or structures accomplished. The doing of such work by the city or the ordering of same by the city council shall not relieve such person from the prosecution for failure to comply with notice, pursuant to section 103.4 of the Standard Building Code.
