If such corrective action is taken by or contracted for by the city, the person to whom the order was directed shall be liable to the city for the cost incurred by it in taking or contracting for such corrective action. If such corrective action is taken by the person to whom the order is directed or by such person’s agent, the person to whom the order is directed shall be liable to the city for the cost of supervising such corrective action or otherwise verifying compliance to the order.
