8.40.070   Abatement of public nuisances.
   A.   If an enforcement officer issues to an administrative enforcement order that includes an abatement order, the owner or responsible party shall abate the nuisance as follows:
   1.   All premises, buildings, or structures declared to be such public nuisances and ordered to be abated shall be abated by rehabilitation, demolition, removal or repair pursuant to the procedures set forth in this code with the concurrence of the enforcement officer.
   2.   Any unsafe building declared a public nuisance under this chapter either shall be repaired or rehabilitated in accordance with current codes as adopted by the city, or shall be demolished at the option of the enforcement officer. If the structure is in such condition as to make it immediately dangerous to the life, limb, property or safety of its occupants or the public, it shall be ordered to be vacated.
   3.   Whenever an enforcement officer shall determine that any conditions constituting a public nuisance as defined in this Chapter exist upon any premises within the city, the enforcement officer may require or provide for the abatement thereof and may make the costs of such abatement a lien on the real property or premises in question pursuant to the procedures set forth in this Chapter and Chapter 1.13 of the Municipal Code of the City of Visalia.
   B. When a administrative enforcement order includes an abatement order, the City may choose to abate the public nuisance or violation of the Municipal Code through any of the abatement methods set forth in the Municipal Code or in other local, state or federal law, and nothing contained in this Chapter shall be construed as limiting, prejudicing or adversely affecting the City's ability to concurrently or consecutively use any of those proceedings as the City may deem are applicable. Proceeding under this Section will not preclude the City from proceeding under other Sections of this Chapter. (Ord. 2006-16, § 2 (part), 2006)
