A.
It is a high priority of the City Council of Atlantic City to encourage
preventative maintenance to ensure the continued useful life of the
City's historic buildings, structures, objects and sites.
B.
In the event that any historic landmark or any building, structure,
object or site located within an historic district deteriorates to
the point that, in the best estimate of the Historic Administrative
Officer, the cost of correcting the outstanding code violations equals
more than 25% of the cost of replacing the entire building, structure,
object or site on which the violation occurs, the Administrative Officer
shall:
(1)
Serve personally or by certified mail, return receipt requested,
a notice on the owner of the property listing the violations, the
estimate for their abatement and the replacement cost of the improvements;
and
(2)
Stating that, if the owner does not take all necessary remedial action
within 60 days, or such extensions, the Historic Administrative Officer
may enter upon the property and arrange the abatement of such violations
and cause the cost thereof to become a lien on the property.
C.
Upon receipt of such notice, the owner may, within 20 days after
such receipt, notify the Historic Administrative Officer of his or
her intentions to have a hearing as to the allegations and estimates
set forth in the notice.
(1)
Such hearing shall be conducted by the Historic Preservation Commission
and shall, so far as possible, be a formal adversary proceeding in
which the Historic Administrative Officer shall establish the matters
alleged in the notice by a preponderance of the evidence.
(2)
If a hearing is requested, the Administrative Officer will, within
10 days following the hearing, serve on the owner an opinion, in writing,
setting forth his or her conclusions and the reasons therefor.
D.
If the owner does not request a hearing, the findings of the Historic Administrative Officer set forth in the notice issued in § 148-27 shall be binding, and the Historic Administrative Officer may take such necessary action as granted by the provisions of this chapter.
E.
If the owner does not comply with the findings of the Historic Administrative
Officer, the Historic Administrative Officer may enter onto the premises
and, by use of municipal labor or outside contractors, or both, perform
such work as is necessary to abate all violations.
(1)
The Historic Administrative Officer shall then certify to the City
Council the cost of such work performed, plus all administrative,
clerical, architectural, engineering and legal costs and overhead
attributable thereto, and shall present the same to the City Council.
(2)
City Council may by resolution vote to cause the sum so certified
to become a lien upon the property, payable with the next quarter's
property taxes and, if not then paid, bearing interest at the same
rate as delinquent taxes, and/or become subject to tax foreclosure
in accordance with the state statutes governing the same.
