The purpose of this chapter is to provide for
the removal or repair of buildings in business, industrial and residential
sections that, from any cause, may now be or shall hereafter become
dangerous or unsafe to the public.
When in the opinion of the Code Enforcement
Officer, who is hereby designated as the Enforcement Officer of this
chapter, any building or structure located in the Town shall be deemed
to be dangerous or unsafe to the public, the Code Enforcement Officer
shall make a formal inspection thereof, and report in writing to the
Town Board his or her findings and recommendations in regard to the
building's or structure's removal or repair.
In the event the owner and persons in interest
shall fail to comply with the final order of the Town Board to make
such building safe and secure or removed, the Town Board shall order
such building or structure to be made safe and secure or removed and
assess all the costs and expense, including the cost of actually removing
such building or structure, against the land on which such building
or structure is located at the same time and in the same manner as
general Town taxes.
