In the event the owner of any lot or premises upon which a condition described in this article exists fails to correct, remedy or remove such condition within ten (10) days after notice to do so is given in accord with this article, the city may do such work or make such improvements as are necessary to correct, remedy or remove such condition, or cause the same to be done, and pay therefor and charge the expenses incurred thereby to the owner of such lot. Such expenses shall be assessed against the lot or real estate upon which the work was done or the improvements made.
