If a petition of review has not been filed or the court on review
has affirmed or modified an order for the removal, destruction, or
repair of a building, or the removal of any of its contents, or the
change of any of its conditions, the owner, lessee, or occupant shall
comply with the order within thirty days after the delivery of the
order or a copy of the order to the person, either personally or by
certified letter to the last known address, or by service upon the
person's appointed agent. Failure of the owner, lessee, or occupant
to comply with the order shall subject the owner, lessee, or occupant
to a penalty of ten dollars for each day of failure or neglect after
the expiration of the period. The penalty shall be recovered in the
name of the state and paid into the treasury of the political
subdivision which issues the order or the treasurer of state if the
order is issued by the state. If the owner, lessee, or occupant
cannot reasonably comply with the order within thirty days and a good
faith effort at compliance has been made within thirty days, the
owner, lessee, or occupant shall not be subject to a penalty under
this section. However, the penalty may be imposed on the person upon
a failure to continue the good faith compliance with the order. Section History: Early Form
