Upon failure of any owner, his agent or occupant, to comply with the notice by abating such conditions, responsible officers or persons designated by the Mayor are authorized to enter upon said property to remedy the condition. The city shall have a lien against the property for the reasonable value of the labor and materials used in remedying such situations. This will include the cost of cutting, clearing and removal of said environmental nuisances in addition to other reasonable actions necessary to abate same. The affidavit of the responsible officer shall constitute prima facie evidence of the amount of the lien and the proceedings pursuant to this chapter and upon the same being recorded in the office of the County Clerk, said document shall establish and constitute a lien upon and against the property wherein such labor and materials were employed to abate such public nuisance. The recording of the lien shall be notice to the public at large of the existence of the lien and the same shall bear interest at the current rate set by ordinance from date of lien and thereafter until paid.
