(7) After a hearing on an affected property, the commission shall reduce any order it issues to writing. Each such order shall specify the action to be taken as part of the notice and shall order the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee of the building to, within 30 calendar days, secure the building from unauthorized entry or repair, remove, or demolish the building, unless the owner or lienholder establishes at the hearing that the work cannot reasonably be performed within 30 calendar days. If the commission allows the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee more than 30 calendar days to repair, remove, or demolish the building, the commission shall set forth specific time schedules for the commencement and performance of the work and shall require the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee to secure the property in a reasonable manner from unauthorized entry while the work is being performed. (8) The commission shall not allow the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee more than ninety (90) calendar days to repair, remove, or demolish the building or fully perform all work required to comply with the order unless the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee submits a detailed plan and time schedule for the work at the hearing and establishes at the hearing that the work cannot reasonably be completed within ninety (90) calendar days because of the scope and complexity of the work. In such case, the commission shall require the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee to regularly submit progress reports to the commission and the code inspector to demonstrate compliance with the time schedules established for commencement and performance of the work. The order may require that the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee appear before the commission or the commission's designee to demonstrate compliance with the time schedules. (9) If the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee owns property, including structures or improvements on property, within the city limits of the city of Paris that exceeds $100,000.00 in total value, the commission may require the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee to post a cash or surety bond in an amount adequate to cover the cost of repairing, removing, or demolishing a building under this article. In lieu of a bond, the municipality may require the owner, lienholder, or mortgagee to provide a letter of credit from a financial institution or a guaranty from a third party approved by the municipality. The bond must be posted, or the letter of credit or third party guaranty provided, not later than the 30th calendar day after the date the commission enters the order. Page 9 of 26
