The confirmed cost of abatement of a nuisance upon any property may be made a lien against that property by recordation in the Los Angeles County Recorders Office. Prior to recordation of the lien, notice shall also be sent by certified mail to the owner(s) of record of the property based on the last equalized assessment roll or the supplemental roll, whichever is more current, and notice of such lien shall also be served as set forth in California Government Code § 38773.1. The nuisance abatement lien shall state the amount of the lien, the fact the lien is imposed on the city's behalf, the date of the order of abatement, the street address, legal description and assessor's parcel number of the parcel on which the lien is imposed, and the name and address of the recorded owner(s) of the parcel. The lien may be foreclosed upon in an action brought by the city for a money judgment. In the event the lien is discharged, released, or satisfied, either through payment or foreclosure, notice of the discharge containing the information required herein shall be recorded in the office of the County Recorder.
