Order of the Court. If the court finds the dwelling complained against is unfit for human habitation as defined in this chapter, it shall direct the Public Agency to repair, alter, or improve such dwelling to render it fit for human habitation if such repair, alteration or improvement can be made at a reasonable cost in relation to the value of the dwelling and the ability of the owner to assume such cost; or if the repair, alternation or improvement of said dwelling cannot be made at a reasonable cost in relation to the value of the dwelling and the ability of the owner to assume such cost, to remove or demolish such dwelling. If the court shall find in favor of the owner, it shall award him his reasonable costs and expenses, including counsel fees, all as determined by the court, incurred by him in defense of the action in the Superior Court.
