[Adopted 2-25-2009 by Ord. No. 1248; amended 12-13-2017 by Ord. No. 2017-17]
A.
When in the opinion of the construction official, or in their absence
the designate of the construction official, there exists an emergency
situation concerning the condition of a property which represents
an immediate threat to the public safety, health or welfare, or in
the opinion of the construction official, a building or structure
is dangerous to human life or constitutes a fire hazard, requiring
immediate action to avoid and mitigate the emergency situation, immediate
notice, if practicable, shall be given to the property owner requesting
that the situation be remedied. The construction official shall attempt
to contact the property owner via telephone, fax, or email concerning
the emergency situation, and the owner shall be provided 24 hours
within which to rectify and remediate the emergency situation. In
the event the construction official is unable to make contact with
the property owner, or the property owner otherwise fails to respond
within the twenty-four-hour period, the Borough may take all actions
necessary and appropriate to remedy the situation, including but not
limited to demolition of the property.
B.
In addition to assessing the cost of any such removal or demolition
as a municipal lien against the premises, the Borough may enforce
the payment of such assessment, together with interest, as a debt
of the owner of the premises and may authorize the institution of
an action at law for the collection thereof. The Superior Court shall
have jurisdiction over any such action.
