Whenever in the judgment of the city official charged with enforcement, it is determined upon investigation that a public nuisance is being maintained or exists on the premises in the City, such official shall notify in writing to the owner of record and occupant of the premises of such fact and order that the nuisance be terminated and abated. Said written notice shall be served upon the person committing or maintaining said nuisance by certified mail. If the premises are not occupied and the address of the owner is unknown, service on the owner may be had by posting a copy of the notice on the premises. The notice of violation shall
specify the steps to be taken to abate the nuisance and the time within which the nuisance is to be abated.
If the notice of violation is not complied with within the time specified, the official shall report that fact to the City Council for such action as may be necessary and deemed advisable in the name of the City to abate and enjoin the further continuation of said nuisance.
