All buildings which are structurally unsafe, unsanitary or not provided with adequate egress, or which constitute a fire hazard or are otherwise dangerous to human life or which in relation to existing use constitute a hazard to the safety or health by reason of inadequate maintenance, delapidation, obsolesence or abandonment severally for the purpose of this section are declared unsafe buildings. All such unsafe buildings are hereby declared to be illegal and shall be abated by repair and rehabilitation, or by demolition in accordance with the procedures of this section and of Subdivision 16 of § 130 of the Town Law.
The Town Board hereby appoints the Building Inspector of the Town of Marlborough as the official to make an inspection and report as to the unsafe condition of any building within the Town of Marlborough.
Upon completion of said inspection, the Building Inspector shall cause to be served a notice on the owner or someone of the owner's executors, legal representatives, agents, lessees or any other person having a vested or contingent interest in the same, either personally or by registered mail addressed to the last known address, if any, of the owner's or someone of the owner's executors, legal representatives, agents, lessees or other persons having a vested or contingent interest in the same as shown by the records of the Receiver of Taxes containing a description of the premises, a statement of the particulars in which the building or structure is unsafe or dangerous, and an order requiring that the same be made safe and secure or removed; and if such service be made by registered mail or a copy of such notice to be posted on the premises.
The notice shall further provide for the time which such person served with such notice may commence the securing or removal of the buildings or structures.
The Building Inspector shall file a copy of such notice in the office of the County Clerk of the county within which said building or structure is located, which notice shall be filed by such Clerk in the same manner as a notice of pendency pursuant to Article 65 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules, and shall have the same effect as a notice of pendency as provided, except as otherwise hereinafter provided in this subsection. A notice so filed shall be effective for a period of one year from the date of filing; provided, however, that it may be vacated upon the order of a judge or justice of a court of record, or upon the consent of the Town Attorney. The Clerk of the county where such notice is filed shall mark such notice and any record or docket thereof as canceled of record upon the presentation and filing of such consent or of a certified copy of such order. Such notice shall further provide for a hearing before the Town Board, notice of which time and place thereof to be specified in the notice to repair or demolish served upon the owner and such person having an interest in the property or structure as is herein prescribed.
If after such hearing the Town Board determines that said building is an unsafe building and the owner fails to remove or refuses to repair the same within the time provided, the Town Board may order the removal of such building or structure.
If the Town shall be required to remove such structure, the assessment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Town in connection with the proceeding to remove or secure, including the cost of actually removing the building or structure, shall be levied against the land on which building or structures are located.
