Sec. 19-20. Work performed by City upon noncompliance with order; assessment of costs; <br />lien; foreclosure. <br />(a) In the event abutting owners fail to comply with orders of the Board within the period <br />granted, the Board shall perform such work with its own forces and employees within ten <br />(10) days. The actual cost of such work, which shall not exceed the above-mentioned <br />estimate, shall be assessed against the abutting lots of such owners. The Board shall notify <br />such owners of the cost and assessment of such work. <br />(b) The cost and assessment shall constitute a lien on the abutting lots and shall be payable, <br />without notice, at the Office of the City Treasurer at the next regular taxpaying time after <br />notice has been given of such costs and assessments. If such amount is not paid when due, it <br />shall be enforceable by foreclosure in the same manner as the assessments made for street <br />and sidewalk improvements in cities of the first class. The amount of such costs and <br />assessments shall become a part of the funds of the Board when collected. <br /> <br />Section V. Chapter 19, Article 1, Division 2, Section 19-21 is hereby amended to read: <br />Sec. 19-21. Service of notice; commencement of specified time period. <br />(a) All notices provided for in this article, except notices provided for in section 19-16 for <br />hearing on resolutions, shall be served upon any real estate owner who is a resident of the <br />City by reading such notice to him or leaving a correct copy thereof at such owner's last <br />known place of residence. If such owner is not a resident of the City, then notice may be <br />served by sending a correct copy thereof by registered mail, addressed to such owner at his <br />last known mailing address for personal delivery on such owner, with a return receipt. If the <br />residence or address of such owner is unknown or cannot be ascertained, then notice may be <br />served by reading such notice to an adult resident of the premises, leaving a correct copy <br />thereof with an adult resident of the premises, or by publishing such notice once each week <br />for two (2) consecutive weeks in a daily newspaper of general circulation printed and <br />published in the English language in the City. <br />(b) The period specified in the notice shall be deemed to commence with the day following the <br />date of the service of such notice, as shown by return of service which shall be made on <br />such notice or by such registered mail return receipt or with the day following the seventh <br />day after the last publication. <br /> <br />Section VI. Chapter 19, Article 1, Division 2, Section 19-22 is hereby amended to read: <br />Sec. 19-22.
