§ 12-543. Correction of defects or removal generally.

(a)

Whenever the building inspector, fire chief, health inspector, or any other officer or employee of the village, shall be of the opinion that any building or structure in the village is a dangerous building, he shall file a written statement to this effect with the village manager. The manager shall thereupon cause written notice to be served upon the owner thereof, and upon the occupant thereof, if any, by registered mail or by personal service.

(b)

Such notice shall state that the building has been declared to be in a dangerous condition, and that such dangerous condition must be removed or remedied by repairing or altering the building or by demolishing it, and that the condition must be remedied at once. The form of the notice shall be as determined from time to time by the village board.

(c)

If the person receiving such notice has not complied therewith or taken an appeal from the determination of the officer or employee finding that a dangerous building exists within 15 days from the time when such notice is served upon such person by personal service or by registered mail, the village may proceed to have the condition remedied or the building demolished in accord with state law.
