Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer suspects the existence of a public nuisance, as defined in Section 1343.01(a), in the City, he shall promptly cause the premises on which he suspects such public nuisance exists to be inspected.
Should the Code Enforcement Officer conclude that a public nuisance exists, it shall be the duty of the Code Enforcement Officer to cause photographs of such nuisances to be made and to file and keep in his office the written report of the findings of the aforesaid officials or their agents. The Code Enforcement Officer shall cause a written notice to be served to such owner stating the findings with respect to the existence of a public nuisance and stating that unless the owner or owners thereof shall cause the abatement of the public nuisance by removal of the building or structure, the City may seek civil remedies including an order to repair such defect, to remove all or part of any structure or the City may move to abate such public nuisance, at the expense of such owner or owners. Such abatement shall start within fifteen days after service of such notice and shall be complete within forty-five days or such additional time as the Code Enforcement Officer may deem necessary to complete the removal.
