A.
Whenever any dwelling or any building, structure, excavation, matter, condition or thing in or about a dwelling or the lot on which it is situated, or the plumbing, sewage, drainage, light or ventilation thereof, is found by the Commissioners to be dangerous or detrimental to life of health, the Commissioners may order that matter, condition or thing be removed, abated, suspended, altered or otherwise improved, as the order shall specify, by delivering written notice to the owners, as shown on the tax records, by personal delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested.
B.
If any such order of the Commissioners issued under the authority of the provisions of this article is not complied with within 30 days after the service thereof, then such order may be executed by the Town of Preston through its officers, agents, employees or contractors, and the expense incurred incident to the execution of said order shall be paid by the owner of said property, and such expense may be recovered by the Town by appropriate legal action. Additionally, and where appropriate, the Commissioners may order such premises vacated until such premises shall be made to comply with the conditions of this article.
C.
Before proceeding to execute such order, a copy of such notice shall be sent to the owner of the property, or his agents, if names and addresses on diligent search can be ascertained, and such notice shall be posted on said premises at least 30 days before the Town proceeds to incur such expense unless the condition is of such character as to require immediate action, in which case the time of notice shall be such as, in the judgment of the Commissioners, is reasonable and proper.
