A. 
When a structure or part of it is found by the Code Official to be unsafe or unfit for human occupancy or use, the Code Official may condemn the structure or part of it and may order the structure or part of it to be placarded and vacated pursuant to the provisions of this code.
B. 
The structure or part of it may not be reoccupied without approval of the Code Official. Unsafe equipment may be condemned, placarded, and placed out of service pursuant to the provisions of this code.
An unsafe structure is one which all or part of it is found by the Code Official or other authorized county agent to be dangerous to life, health, property, or the safety of its tenants by not providing minimum protection from fire or because it is so damaged, decayed, dilapidated, structurally unsafe, or of such faulty construction or unstable foundation that it is likely to partially or completely collapse.
A. 
Unsafe equipment includes any boiler, heating equipment, cooking equipment, elevator, moving stairway, electrical wiring or device, flammable liquid containers or other equipment on the premises or within the structure which is in such disrepair or condition that is is found by the Code Official to be a hazard to life, health, property, or safety of the tenants of the premises or structure.
B. 
Unsafe equipment may contribute to the finding that the structure is unsafe or unfit for human occupancy or use.
A structure is unfit for human occupancy or use whenever the Code Official finds that it is unsanitary, vermin or rodent infested, contains filth or contamination, or lacks ventilation, illumination, sanitary or heating facilities or other essential equipment required by this code.
Upon a failure of a property owner to close or vacate a premises within the time specified in an order, the Code Official may cause the premises to be closed through any available public agency or by contract or arrangement with private persons. The cost shall be charged against the real estate upon which the structure is located and shall be a lien upon the real estate.
A. 
A person is displaced who is:
(1) 
Required to leave a structure as a result of condemnation or order issued pursuant to § 175-16 of the Code Official; and
(2) 
A tenant of the structure to which the order applies at the time of issuance of the order.
B. 
Whenever the Code Official issues an order pursuant to either § 175-16 or Article VII of this code which results in the displacement of any person as provided above, the property owner shall promptly make reasonable and good faith efforts to locate alternative housing of comparable affordability within a reasonable distance of the structure.
C. 
In the event that the property owner is unable to locate alternative housing, or fails or refuses to make such efforts to locate alternative housing, the Town may provide alternate housing to any displaced person until such time as the Code Official authorizes reoccupation of the structure, approves any repair(s) or alteration(s) with this code or until a period of six months has elapsed since the date of issuance of the order, whichever occurs first. Any cost incurred by the Town in locating alternate housing and in relocating displaced persons shall be charged against the real estate on which the structure is located and shall be a lien against the real estate.
D. 
In addition to any other remedies provided under law or this code, the Town is authorized to recover any costs incurred by it in the relocation of any displaced person by way of assumpsit in a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
