Within fifteen (15) business days after the date on which required repairs are to be completed, but no later than thirty (30) days after the order is posted or received, the agency shall determine if the order issued has been complied with. Copies of any reports and orders made following reinspection shall be sent by regular mail to the owner and occupant of the dwelling or dwelling unit. If the order has not been complied with and if a written extension by the agency has not been granted or if an appeal to the housing board of review has not been taken, the agency shall issue a report and order and commence legal action against the party responsible for the violation. If the order has not been complied with and if a written extension has not been granted, a reinspection fee shall be billed to the owner and/or a notice thereof recorded, and shall constitute a lien on the rental property, 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 and shall be enforced within the time and in the manner provided for the collection of taxes on land. If the repair is of a violation that is not major or life threatening, the enforcement officer may allow the property owner to self certify that the repairs have been done. Such self certification will be done by [on] a form provided by the enforcement officer and shall be subject to perjury. If a property owner self certifies completion of a repair, any enforcement officer shall be entitled to spot check the property to confirm completion of the repair.
