§ 82.18 ABATEMENT BY THE CITY; RECOVERY OF COSTS.
   (A)   If any person, having been ordered to abate a public nuisance pursuant to this subchapter, fails, neglects, or refuses to abate or remove the condition constituting the nuisance within 15 days from mailing of such order excepting violation of §§ 82.16(A)(1) and 82.16(E) which shall have ten days from the mailing of such written notice, the City Manager or his duly appointed agent shall cause such condition to be removed or otherwise remedied by having employees of the city or a private contractor obtained by the city go upon such premises and remove or otherwise abate such nuisance under the supervision of an officer or employee designated by the City Manager. Any person who has been ordered to abate a public nuisance may, within the time allowed by this subchapter, request the city, in writing, to remove such condition, the cost of which shall be paid by the person making such request. The city may, at its option, accept such responsibility and enter written agreement with the property owner to abate such nuisance and agree to payment arrangements.
   (B)   The actual cost incurred by the city in removing or otherwise remedying a public nuisance shall be charged to the owner of such lot or parcel of land, and it shall be the duty of the Finance Director to mail a statement of such charges to the owner or other person in possession of such premises, with instruction that such charges are due and payable within 30 days from the receipt thereof. The actual cost incurred, when the owner does not abate the nuisance, shall be established by City Council. Such costs may include an administrative expense.
   (C)   If charges for the removal or abatement of a public nuisance are not paid within 30 days after the receipt of a statement of charges, such charges shall become a lien upon the land or premises where the public nuisance existed and shall be collected as unpaid taxes.
