THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 237d. (1) Unless a law of this state provides otherwise,
this state shall construct and maintain a facility in compliance
with applicable building codes of a unit of local government in
which the facility is located.
(2) A unit of local government may, as allowed by ordinance,
issue an order to this state to, at the expense of this state,
correct or remove a facility or condition of a facility that
violates a building code applicable to the facility under
subsection (1).
(3) If this state does not comply with an order issued under
subsection (2), the unit of local government may commence a court
action to enforce the order. If the court finds that the facility
or condition is in violation of a building code applicable to the
facility under subsection (1), the court may order the correction
or removal of the condition or facility at the expense of this
state.
(4) If this state fails to comply with a court order issued
under subsection (3), the unit of local government may have the
order executed and the amount of the expenses incurred by the unit
of local government in doing so shall be a lien against the
facility property. The unit of local government may enforce the
lien in the same manner as provided by law for the foreclosure of
mortgage liens on real property.
