If the city undertakes the corrective action with respect to the property after complying
with the notice provisions found herein, the costs and expenses thereof shall be chargeable
to and paid by the owner of such property and may be collected by the city in the
same manner as taxes and levies are collected. Every charge authorized by this section
with which the owner of any such property has been assessed and which remains unpaid
shall constitute a lien against such property with the same priority as liens for
unpaid local real estate taxes and enforceable in the same manner as provided in articles
3 (section 58.1-3940 et seq.) and 4 (section 58.1-3965 et seq.) of chapter 39, title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia (1950), as amended.
