In the event any person, firm or corporation shall violate § 50.04, the city, after giving three days written notice of its intention to do so, may cause the removal of garbage or accumulated rubbish or other waste material, and charge the cost thereof to the owner, occupant or lessee of the premises. If the charges are not paid within 30 days after the owner, occupant or lessee of the premises is served with a written notice of the amount of the charges, the city shall levy a special assessment for the amount of the charges against the parcel or real estate from which the paper, rubbish, or other waste material was removed. The collection of the charges or the levying of a special assessment shall in no manner affect the liability of the owner, occupant or lessee for criminal prosecution for violation of the provision of the chapter or to the criminal penalties herein provided.
