(a)

Procedure. When any work of repair, removal, demolition or securing is to be performed by the city pursuant to the provisions of any order of the city council or the board, the work may be accomplished by city personnel or by private contract as may be deemed necessary. Rubble and debris shall be removed from any premises and the lot cleaned if removal or demolition is ordered. The building or building materials may be sold if removal or demolition is ordered, and the proceeds shall be used to offset other costs of the work.

(b)

Costs. The cost of such work shall be paid from city funds and shall constitute a special assessment and a lien against such property to secure payment thereof, together with ten percent interest on such amount from the date on which the work is performed.

(c)

Repair to minimum standards only. In the event repair by the city is permitted by this article, the city may repair the building at its own expense and assess the expenses on the land on which the building stands or is attached to only to the extent necessary to bring the building into compliance with minimum standards.
