§ 14-410. Abatement.

If the owner fails to secure or maintain the property as required under this section, such failure shall constitute a hazardous and nuisance condition. Within three (3) business days after a notice to abate has been provided, the chief building official or his or her authorized representative may abate the nuisance without giving further notice. The chief building official or his or her authorized representative may abate the offending condition by arranging for city employees or private contractors to secure and board the structure, remove rubbish and debris from the premises, or make repairs to maintain the buildings and premises to conform to this section. The cost of abating the nuisance condition(s) may be charged to the owner and against the premises. The chief building official or his or her authorized representative may abate a public nuisance without giving notice if the public health or safety requires immediate abatement.
