municipal lien against the real property upon which such costs were
incurred. If the building or dwelling is removed or demolished by
the Construction Official or other official of the Borough, he shall
sell the materials of such building. There shall be credited against
the costs of the removal or demolition thereof, the proceeds of any
sale of such materials or any sum derived from any contract for the
removal or demolition of the building or dwelling. If there are no
such credits or if the sum total of such costs exceeds the total of
such credits, a detailed statement of the aforesaid costs and the
amount so due shall be filed with the Municipal Tax Assessor or other
custodian of the records of tax liens and a copy thereof shall be
forthwith forwarded to the owner and other parties in interest by
registered mail. If the total of the credits exceeds such costs, the
balance remaining shall be deposited in the Superior Court by the
Borough, shall be secured in such manner as may be directed by such
Court, and shall be disbursed according to the order of judgment of
the Court to the person found to be entitled thereto by final order
or judgment of such Court; provided that nothing in this subsection
shall be construed to impair or limit in any way the power of the

or abatement by summary proceedings or otherwise. Any owner or party
in interest may, within 60 days from the date of the filing of the
lien certificate, proceed in a summary manner in the Superior Court
to contest the reasonableness of the amount or the accuracy of the
costs set forth in the municipal lien certificate.
