Any building or structure located within the Village which may
now be or which may hereafter become dangerous or unsafe to the public
is hereby declared a nuisance.
Any building alleged to be dangerous or unsafe to the public
shall be inspected by the Code Enforcement Officer, and the report
of such inspector shall be filed with the Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees may cause a notice to be served on the
owner of a dangerous building, either personally or by certified mail
addressed to the last known address of said owner as shown in the
tax records. If such notice is served by certified mail, a copy of
such notice shall also be posted on the premises.
The notice provided for in § 185-16 shall contain
a description of the premises, a statement of the particulars in which
the building is unsafe or dangerous and an order requiring the same
to be made safe and secure or removed.
The Board of Trustees shall provide for the removal of such
building or structure by the Village in the event such owner fails
or refuses to repair or remove the same within the time provided.
The Board of Trustees may assess all the costs and expenses
incurred by the Village in connection with the proceedings to remove
or secure a dangerous or unsafe building or structure, including the
costs of actually removing said building or structure, against the
land on which such building or structure is located.
