Whenever any work is done or improvements are made or any substandard building or
structure is repaired, demolished, cleared or removed by the city under the provisions
of section 5-111, the mayor or city manager, on behalf of the city, shall file a statement of the
expenses incurred thereby with the county clerk. Such statement shall give the amount
of such expenses and the date or dates on which the work was done, or the expenses
incurred, and the costs of demolishing, cleaning, repairing or removing the substandard
conditions or substandard building and structure. When this statement is filed with
the county clerk, the city shall have a privilege lien on the lot or real estate upon
which the work was done, improvement made, repairs made or substandard building repaired,
removed or demolished and cleared, to secure the expenses thereof. Such lien shall
be second only to tax liens and liens for street improvements, and the amount thereof
shall bear interest at the rate of ten (10) percent per annum from the date the statement
was filed with the county clerk. For any such expenditures, expense and interest,
suit may be instituted against the owner or owners but the city may not recover any
removal expenses by forcing sale of the subject land or realty. The statement of expenses
for repair made herein and filed with the county clerk, or a certified copy thereof,
shall be prima facie proof of the amount expended for such work, improvements, repairs,
demolition, clearance or removal.
