(A) Notice of nuisance behavior.
(1) Whenever a city official or enforcement officer becomes aware of information that causes the city official or enforcement officer to reasonably believe that a public nuisance exists on any premises in the city, the owner or occupant of that property should be notified at the first convenience, with a request that all nuisance behavior be immediately abated.
(2) However, failure of a city official or enforcement officer to provide such a notice shall not be a defense against a finding that nuisance behavior has occurred or is occurring, or that a public nuisance exists.
(B) Removal of notices. It is a violation of this chapter to destroy, remove or deface any order or notice relating to a public nuisance that is posted by a city official or enforcement officer prior to the time the activity, event or hearing described on the notice has occurred.
(C) Notice of determination. Upon a determination made by the city’s enforcement officer that premises located within the city is a public nuisance, a notice of that determination may be provided to the owner and/or occupant of the premises. The owner and/or occupant shall have ten business days from being provided with such a notice to initiate an appeal of that determination to the city’s Board of Public Works and Safety (the “Board”).
