(a) The service of the orders mentioned in section 606 of this title may be made upon the owner, occupant or other person responsible for the conditions, either by delivering a copy thereof personally or by delivering the copy to and leaving it with any person in charge of the premises, or in case no such person is found upon the premises, by affixing a copy thereof in a conspicuous place on the door to the entrance of the said premises. Whenever it may be necessary to serve such an order upon the owner of premises, the order may be served either by delivering to and leaving with the owner a copy of the order, or, if the owner is absent from the jurisdiction of the officer making the order, by mailing the copy to the owner's last known post office address.
(b) Within 24 hours after the service of an order under this section, the owner or occupant may appeal from the order to the Board of Building Appeals, which shall have jurisdiction to determine such appeal.
(c) In the event that the Director shall pursuant to section 606, paragraph (6) of this chapter order the removal of a building or other structure, and the owner shall fail within the time stated in the order to comply, the Director may cause the building or other structure to be demolished and removed by the Government of the Virgin Islands. In such event the Director shall by certified mail, return receipt requested, demand that the owner pay within sixty days the reasonable costs of demolition and removal. If the costs assessed by the Director are not paid within the sixty-day period, the amount due shall be a lien in favor of the Government of the Virgin Islands upon the real property on which the building or other structure was located, and the amount due may be collected by seizure and sale of the property.
