§ 13-225. FAILURE TO DO WORK. POWER OF DIRECTOR. COST OF WORK.

Whenever this article requires certain work, or requires that work done shall be done in a certain manner pursuant to specified rules or specifications or requires that any steps be taken to protect persons or property, by a permittee, contractor or other person, and such person fails to comply with this article, then the Director shall give such person notice as prescribed in this article or if none be prescribed, written notice given pursuant to Section 1-212 of this Code and the following provisions; the notice shall specify the failure and demand compliance with this article and state that if compliance is not achieved within thirty days of the date of the notice, then the Director will cause the work to be done and the cost and expenses thereof to be paid by such person. In the event the failure causes, in the opinion of the Director, an immediate hazard to persons or property, the Director may shorten the thirty day period or cause to be done immediately, without notice, such part of the work or steps necessary to abate the hazard. The cost and expenses of such work, together with attorney's fees and court costs in the event of a suit for collection, shall be paid by such person and may be collectible on or from any bond or other performance security provided to secure that the provisions of this article are complied with.
