Upon the City Council's determination that the subject building is so unsafe, dilapidated, or unsanitary or such a nuisance that its raze and removal is necessary to protect the public health, safety, or welfare of Fayetteville citizens and residents, the City Council may by resolution order the owner of the building to either completely abate the nuisance or raze and remove the unsafe or nuisance building within a period of not less than thirty (30) days.

(3)

Lien on the Property.

If the City of Fayetteville razes and removes the unsafe or nuisance building, the City Council shall hold a due process public hearing to determine the fair and true costs to the city for this raze and removal and may place a lien in that amount upon the subject property to be enforced pursuant to the lien enforcement procedures of §95.03 of the Fayetteville Code.
