(f) Protection of tenants during suspension or revocation. If, in the judgment of the board, it is necessary for the tenants of a rental unit to be relocated during the effectiveness of any suspension/revocation ordered, the owner shall be financially responsible to pay for the cost of such relocation to comparable housing that meets code requirements during the relocation, as those costs are defined in Section 18-28 . In the event that the owner fails to meet its obligations under this subsection, such costs shall be paid by the city and the costs and charges incurred shall constitute a lien upon the land upon which the dwelling or dwelling unit is situated, thereby becoming effective against any purchaser, mortgagee, attaching creditor, lienholder or other person whose claim or interest in the property arises subsequent to the recording of the lien and shall be enforced within the time and in the manner provided for the collection of taxes on land. The enforcement officer shall take all actions required under Sections 18-26 and 18-28 needed to provide tenants with the protections provided under this section. The owner shall also be liable for an administrative fee of fifty dollars ($50.00) for the cost of administering this section, such fee to be included in the lien.
