When the Chief of Police, or his or her designee(s), receives documentation that the city has responded to nuisance activities that qualify for at least three points within a 12-month period, the Chief of Police or his or her designee(s), may review such documentation to determine whether it describes the nuisance activities enumerated in the definition of “Nuisance activity” in § 134.03. Upon such a finding, the Chief of Police, or his or her designee(s), shall serve or cause to be served written notice upon the responsible parties. The warning notice shall:
(A) Identify the type and specific location of the nuisance activity;
(B) Summarize the evidence of the nuisance activity occurring on the property (including the documented observations of the peace officer or a witness willing to testify), and (if the property is occupied by a tenant who is a responsible party) information necessary to prosecute an eviction of that tenant;
(C) Provide the dates on which the nuisance activity was reported to the city and the dates of any prior responses by the city to nuisance activity on the property; and
(D) Notify all responsible parties of the required corrective actions, if any, and the date by which such corrective actions must be completed; and
(E) Warn the responsible parties that future nuisance activity on or at the property may cause the city to institute enforcement proceedings to abate the nuisance activities occurring on the property, and/or impose administrative fines on any or all responsible parties; and
(F) Include a statement describing that if declared a Chronic Nuisance, the property could be subject to closure for up to one year and civil penalties and/or fines assessed up to $1,000 per day.
