by a code official, or the Board of Appeals, which requires that any
building, premise, structure or property be cleaned or repaired, or
conditioned abated or improved in accordance with this chapter, in
cases of hardship due to indigence, or absence of the responsible
party, the Building Inspector or his/her designee may cause such cleaning,
repair, abatement or removal of the offending structure of substance

levied as a special charge against the premises as authorized by §§ 66.0405
