A subsection is added to Section 109 of the International Fire Code to read:

Emergency abatement. Notwithstanding any other section of the Clark County Fire Code or the International Fire Code, the Clark County fire marshal shall be authorized to cause the immediate summary abatement of any dangerous or hazardous condition which constitutes a fire hazard or which poses an immediate prospect of irreparable harm to life and property; PROVIDED, that the Clark County fire marshal shall make reasonable efforts to notify the owner or occupant of the abatement orally or in writing before the condition has been abated.

The costs to the county of such summary abatement shall be and become a charge against the owner of the real property on which the hazardous or dangerous condition was located and a lien against such real property to be enforced in the manner provided for in Section 15.12.109.4; PROVIDED, that no charge or lien shall occur unless within ten (10) days following summary abatement the fire marshal mails written notice thereof to the record owner of such real property at his last known address as shown by the records in the office of the treasurer of Clark County. Such notice shall specify the condition summarily abated, the costs of such abatement which are charged against the owner and real property, and the method of appeal specified in Section 15.12.109.5.
