(A) The Planning Commission, Building Commissioner, law enforcement officer, or any designee thereof of the municipal corporation may at any time require the owner and/or occupant of any property upon which a nuisance, as herein defined, exists to do all things necessary to remove the nuisance from such property by giving the owner and/or occupant ten days’ written notice of the existence of the nuisance. The notice, as herein required, shall state the nature of the alleged nuisance and the action deemed necessary to correct the condition and shall fix a date not sooner than ten days from the date of the receipt of the notice when said property owner and/or occupant may appear before the Planning Commission to be heard on the question of the nuisance.
(B) Upon the failure of the owner and/or occupant to cause the abatement of the nuisance, as required by this section, and after notice and opportunity for hearing before the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall proceed at once to cause to be abated the nuisance and charge the cost thereof against such owner and/or occupant of the property. In effectuating the abatement of said nuisance, the Planning Commission may authorize and designate certain officers, personnel, and/or contractors of the municipal corporation to enter upon the property of such owner and/or occupant and to take all appropriate actions necessary to bring said property in compliance with this subchapter. The liability created herein shall be joint and several as to the owners and any occupants or tenants of the property.
