(A) Notice to abate. Whenever the presence of any nuisance shall come to the attention of the City Council, the Council shall cause written notice to abate or correct the nuisance to be given to the owner or person causing or allowing the same. The notice shall effectively describe the problem, the required remedy, and shall state the reasonable time, depending on the severity or emergency of the situation, within which the nuisance shall be abate. Service of the notice shall be in a manner to reasonably assure delivery.
(Prior Code, § 3.0708)
(B) When notice not required.
(1) Notice to abate any nuisance shall not be required in the following circumstances:
(a) When the nuisance event or condition is of such a serious or emergency nature that immediate abatement is necessary to prevent human injury or disease;
(b) When the owner or person causing or allowing the nuisance is unknown or cannot be located using reasonable means of attempted identity or location.
(2) Lack of notice shall not relieve the owner or person causing or allowing the nuisance from being liable for such nuisance and the cost of abating the same.
(Prior Code, § 3.0709)
