If the nuisance is not abated within the required time, the Police Chief and/or Safety Director may cause its abatement and report the cost thereof to Council which may assess the same on the real estate on which the nuisance existed or the cause or source thereof was located. If the nuisance consists of uncut and growing grass or weeds, only one (1) notice to the property owner, as provided in Section 503.02 shall be necessary in any one (1) growing season and the Police Chief and/or Safety Director may cause such nuisance to be abated or removed more than once in any growing season as conditions may require. If the property owner is ordered to abate the nuisance or to pay the City the estimated cost of the abatement and fails to comply with such order, such failure shall be considered a first degree misdemeanor. Each day of violation shall be considered a separate offense.
