(a) When any nuisance or anything likely to become a nuisance is found by the Chief of Police or is reported to the Chief, the person causing such nuisance or the owner or occupant of the premises on or adjacent to which such nuisance is found, shall forthwith be notified by the Chief to remove and abate the same. If the person so notified does not comply with such notice, the City Attorney, upon notification by the Chief, shall bring suit against such person in the name of the City for the penalty. If such nuisance is removed by a City officer, the cost of removal shall be added to the penalty.
(b) All notices issued under this section shall be in writing, addressed to the person to whom the notice is given, describing the particular matter complained of and informing such person that if the nuisance is not removed or abated within a reasonable time after such notice is given, proceedings shall be taken under this chapter, which notice shall be dated and signed by the City officer giving the same.
