In the event that any structure or building is referred to the board of directors
for consideration of the ordering of demolition and removal thereof, and the board
shall adopt an ordinance so requiring, the building official shall, within seven (7)
days of the date of adoption of such ordinance, post a copy thereof on the property,
and shall direct a notice of adoption of same to the owner of the property and to
any person or entity having an interest in the property as indicated by the records
of the circuit clerk, and to the surety on any bond previously posted, with reference
to the demolition of buildings or structures located on such property. Such ordinance
shall indicate that the city shall, at the expiration of thirty (30) calendar days
from the adoption of such ordinance, cause the structure or building to be demolished
and removed at the expense of the property owner. Unless the responsible parties have
caused the building or structure to be demolished and removed within the thirty (30)
days immediately following the date of the ordinance, the city administrator shall,
after concurrence of the board of directors, if required by the procedural ordinances
of the city, enter into a contract providing for the demolition and removal of the
structure. The city shall be entitled to a lien against the real property on which
the building or structure is located for the city's cost in securing the demolition
and removal of the structure. After demolition and removal is completed, the matter
shall be referred to the qualified and licensed attorneys at law contracted to provide
legal services pursuant to sections 2-111—2-113 of this Code for all necessary action to enforce such lien, and to take appropriate
action against any bond, and surety thereon, which may have been posted with reference
to the demolition and removal of the building or structure.
