If the structure is unfit for human habitation and occupancy, and is not in danger of structural collapse, the code official is authorized to post a placard of condemnation on the structure or premises and order the structure closed up so as not to be an attractive nuisance. Upon failure of the owner or owner's authorized agent to close up the structure within the time specified in the order, the code official shall cause the structure to be closed and secured through any available public agency or by contract or arrangement by private persons and the cost thereof, plus a twenty percent administrative fee, shall be assessed against the real estate upon which the structure is located and shall be a lien upon such real estate and shall be collected by any other legal resource. The assessment shall be certified by the director of finance to the Boulder or Weld County Treasurer for collection in the same manner as taxes. Where deemed necessary by the code official, boarding per Appendix A may be required.
