The City shall have the power to abate and remove all violations of these sections and assess the costs and expenses of abatements on the property where the violation is situated. This assessment, when duly certified by the President of the Board of the County Auditor, shall become a lien, to be collected in the same manner as any other tax in favor of the City. The City shall also have the power to compel the proprietor, owner, agent, assignee, occupant or tenant of the lot, property, house, or building on or in which any violation is occurring to abate and remove the violation.
