If the code enforcement officer finds that a nuisance exists, the code enforcement officer will attempt to have the responsible person abate the nuisance. Although the code enforcement officer's first usual step in correcting or abating the nuisance will be to attempt to obtain voluntary compliance, the code enforcement officer is not required to first attempt to obtain voluntary compliance, and the code enforcement officer may pursue any remedy or combination of remedies available pursuant to this chapter, state law or common law in order to abate the nuisance. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to prohibit the city from engaging in its standard prosecution or abatement practices, or to require the city to attempt to obtain voluntary compliance before or as a condition precedent to taking other action to abate the nuisance. Therefore, the city may prosecute violators of city ordinances or state laws without first attempting to give notice as stated herein. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to prevent the city from enforcing applicable city ordinances, or building codes without first treating the offending conduct, situation or activity as a nuisance pursuant to this chapter.
