§ 15.12.430. Repairs made by city.
Whenever a compliance order to repair, alter or secure a dwelling found by the director to be unfit for human habitation and continued occupancy has not been complied with, the director may, at the expense of the person responsible for alleviating the violation, take such direct action as is necessary to alleviate the violation, if the cost of such action is reasonably related to the value of the dwelling. For the purposes of this section any repair, alteration or securing that is determined by the director to cost fifty (50) percent or less of the assessed valuation of the dwelling shall be deemed to be reasonable. The power of the director to repair or alter shall be limited to the alleviation of conditions which affect occupied dwellings or dwelling units.
