(A) When it shall come to the attention of the city that any condition exists defined by § 93.002 of this chapter, it shall be the duty of the city to give written notice to the owner, occupant of the premises or the person responsible for such condition, directing such owner, occupant or person responsible to correct such condition within five days. If the person directed to do so fails or refuses to remedy such condition within five days after such written notice, the nuisance shall be abated by the city and bill sent to the owner, occupant or person responsible for such condition. If payment is not received for services rendered, the city will file a lien at the Recorder of Deeds of the county.
(B) Charges shall be filed against such owner, occupant or the premises or person responsible and such person, so failing, shall, upon conviction, be fined as provided in this code. Only one notice will be sent to the owner, occupant of the premises or the person responsible for such condition per each property per year.
(C) Failure of the owner, occupant of the premises or person responsible for such condition to abate the nuisance on the property and in the right-of-way after the first notification will be cause for immediate abatement by the city without further written notification.
