A. Complaint; Inspection: Whenever a complaint is made to the enforcement officer of the existence of a "public nuisance", as defined in sections 3-1-3 and 3-1-5 of this chapter, the enforcement officer shall promptly cause to be inspected the property on which it is alleged that such public nuisance exists. Should the enforcement officer find that a public nuisance exists, and that the public health, safety or welfare may be in immediate danger, then summary abatement procedures shall be implemented and the enforcement officer may cause the nuisance to be removed or abated. The enforcement officer may notify the city building inspector if the public nuisance involves a building that appears structurally unsafe. The building inspector, upon being notified by the enforcement officer, shall cause the building on which it is alleged such public nuisance exists to be inspected and submit a written report of such inspection and the findings to the enforcement officer.
B. Notice To Owner: When summary abatement is authorized, notice to the owner, agent or occupant of the property is not required. Following summary abatement, the enforcement officer shall cause to be posted, on the property liable for the abatement, a notice describing the action taken to abate the nuisance.
