Every structure maintained in or over the waters of the city harbor without a current valid permit existing therefor, and any vessel docking without the required permit and without paying the fees as required by this chapter, shall constitute a nuisance and shall be immediately abated and may be removed. If, upon written notice to remove any such structure or such vessel, the owner thereof fails, refuses or neglects to do so within a reasonable time specified in the notice, being not less than five nor more than 30 days after such notice, the city shall abate or remove it, and the cost thereof may be recovered from the owner of such structure from a civil action.
