          If the proceeds of the sale of items subject to seizure and forfeiture do not fully discharge all of the costs, fees, and allowances, the building or unit within a building shall then also be sold under execution issued upon the order of the court, and the proceeds of the sale shall be applied in like manner.

          No building or unit within a building may be sold pursuant to this section unless the court finds and concludes that the owner of the building or place had actual or constructive knowledge or notice of the existence of the nuisance, however, this shall not be construed as limiting or prohibiting the entry of any final order of abatement providing for the immediate closure of the building or unit within a building pursuant to this chapter.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 511.              (1) If the court finds and concludes that the owner of the building or unit within a building had no actual or constructive knowledge of the existence of the nuisance, has not been guilty of any contempt of court in the proceedings, will immediately abate any such nuisance that may exist at the building or unit within a building and prevent it from being a nuisance within a period of one year thereafter,  the court shall, if satisfied of the owner's good faith, order the building or unit within a building to be delivered to the owner, and the order of abatement cancelled so far as it may relate to the property.

          (2) The release of property under this chapter does not release it from any judgment, lien, penalty or liability to which it may be subject, except as provided in subsection (1).

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 512.              Whenever the owner of a building or unit within a building upon which the act or acts constituting the contempt have been committed, or the owner of any interest therein, has been guilty of a contempt of court, and fined in any proceedings under this chapter, the fine is a lien upon the building or unit within a building to the extent of his or her interest in it.  The lien is enforceable and collectible by execution issued by order of the court.

 

          NEW SECTION.  Sec. 513.              The abatement of a nuisance under this chapter does not prejudice the right of any person to recover damages for its past existence.
