  order to vacate for the purpose of assisting in the effectual closing of
  the building pursuant to this section. The issuance  of  such  order  to
  vacate  and the closing of the building, erection or place in accordance
  therewith shall not be deemed, in any manner or form, an  assumption  of
  the  supervision and care of the building, erection or place by any city
  authorized to act pursuant to this subdivision, if provision is made  in
  the  order  of  abatement  that  the  owner  or  lessor of the building,
  erection or place shall be permitted access to  supervise  and  maintain
  the building, erection or place.
2. For removing and selling the movable property, the officer shall be
  entitled  to  a charge and receive the same fees as he would for levying
  upon and selling  like  property,  on  execution  and  for  closing  the
  premises  and keeping it closed a reasonable sum shall be allowed by the
  court.
