The enforcement officer shall have authority to cause the abatement and removal or correction of any condition of property in violation of this Chapter. The cost of abatement shall become a special assessment against the property in question, which may be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency, as provided for ordinary municipal taxes. The procedure for abatement and special assessment of the costs thereof shall be in accordance with Section 8.10.080. The abatement procedure specified in Section 8.10.080 may be used as an alternative to, or in addition to any other regulatory authority of the City, including but not limited to, the prosecution of a violation of this Chapter as an infraction.
