If a petition of review has not been filed or the court on review has affirmed or modified an order for the removal, destruction, or repair of a building, or the removal of any of its contents, or the change of any of its conditions, the owner, lessee, or occupant shall comply with the order within thirty days after the delivery of the order or a copy of the order to the person, either personally or by certified letter to the last known address, or by service upon the person’s appointed agent.  Failure of the owner, lessee, or occupant to comply with the order shall subject the owner, lessee, or occupant to a penalty of ten dollars for each day of failure or neglect after the expiration of the period.  The penalty shall be recovered in the name of the state and paid into the treasury of the political subdivision which issues the order or the treasurer of state if the order is issued by the state.  If the owner, lessee, or occupant cannot reasonably comply with the order within thirty days and a good faith effort at compliance has been made within thirty days, the owner, lessee, or occupant shall not be subject to a penalty under this section.  However, the penalty may be imposed on the person upon a failure to continue the good faith compliance with the order.
