The Building Inspector is charged with the responsibility of
carrying out the obligations and duties set forth in this chapter.
In the event that the owner fails or refuses to repair or remove
the building within the time provided by the above-mentioned notice,
the Town Board may cause the removal of such building or structure
without further notice to the owner.
All costs and expenses incurred by the Town in connection with
any and all of the above proceedings to remove or secure, including
the cost of actually removing said building or structure or securing
the same, shall be assessed against the land on which the building
or structure is located.
If such owner or person served as hereinabove provided shall
fail to pay the costs and expenses incurred by the Town within 10
days after being notified of the costs thereof by registered mail,
the Town Clerk shall file, immediately preceding the time for making
the annual assessment roll, a certificate of such actual cost and
expense with a statement as to the property upon which such cost and
expense were incurred and the buildings or other obstructions removed,
as the case may be, with the Assessors of the Town, who shall, in
the preparation of the next assessment roll of Town taxes, assess
such amount upon such property, and the same shall be levied, collected
and enforced in the same manner, by the same proceedings, at the same
time, under the same penalties, and having the same lien upon the
property assessed as the general Town tax and as a part thereof.
In cases of great emergency, where the delay of proceedings,
as hereinbefore provided, would result in probable loss of life or
property, the Supervisor of the Town shall have the power to direct
the Building Inspector to proceed at once to take such action as is
needed to guard the safety of affected persons and property.
