In such cases the decision of the building official shall be final and conclusive.

(b)The building official, in exercising his powers and duties under this section, may at once enter any unsafe building, or the land on which it stands, or abutting land or structure, with such assistance and at such costs as he deems necessary. He may vacate adjacent structures and protect the public by an appropriate fence or such other means as may be necessary, and for this purpose he may close a public or private way.

(c)Costs incurred under this section shall be paid out of the General Fund of Guam on a certified voucher of the building official. Such costs shall be a lien on the land on which the building exists or existed, as the case may be, until recovered by the government of Guam.
