It shall be unlawful for any person, owner, agent, or person in possession of any property to refuse to allow the Village or its designated contractor to enter upon the premises for the purposes set forth herein.
   (b)   Cost Of Abatement: Within fifteen (15) days after abatement of the violation, the owner of the property will be notified of the cost of abatement, including the Village's administrative and legal costs. The property owner may file a written protest objecting to the amount of the assessment. If the amount due is not paid within a timely manner as determined by the decision of the Village Manager or by the expiration of the time in which to file an appeal, the charges shall become a special assessment against the property and shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of the assessment.
   (c)   Injunctive Relief: It shall be unlawful for any person to violate any provision or fail to comply with any of the requirements of this article. If a person has violated or continues to violate the provisions of this article, the Director of Public Works, or designee may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for a preliminary or permanent injunction restraining the person from activities that would create further violations or compelling the person to perform abatement or remediation of the violation.
