The city shall have no responsibility or obligation for the maintenance, repair, or proper operation of a private stormwater conveyance system.
(B) Without prejudice to any other right, remedy, recourse or punishment contemplated by the laws, including this chapter or chapter 19 of this Code, in the event the director determines that a private stormwater conveyance system is not operating properly or that such system directly or indirectly causes the improper discharge of stormwater onto the street or sidewalk or into the municipal storm sewer system, the director may also declare this condition to constitute a public nuisance and proceed to abate that nuisance in accordance with this chapter and sections 19-51 through 19-54, as the director shall consider appropriate.
