Section 2. Knowledge of unlawful use by owner
If a person, being the owner of any building, has knowledge of, or reason to believe, that such building, or a part thereof, is used for the purposes of fornication, lewdness, assignation, and/or prostitution, and suffers the same to be so used, such building shall be subject to a lien for and may be sold to pay all fines and costs assessed against the person guilty of maintaining such nuisance for such violation of this act; and the total amount of any such fine and costs may be entered, by the filing of a certificate thereof by the clerk of the court in which the same was imposed in the court of common pleas of the county, and shall remain a lien in favor of such county until paid. Judgment may be obtained thereon and execution issued in the manner provided by law in the case of municipal liens. (1931, June 23, P.L. 1178, No. 319, Sec. 2.)
