(A) If the owner fails to secure or maintain the property as required under this subchapter, such failure shall constitute a hazardous and nuisance condition. After notice to abate has been provided, the code official may abate the nuisance without further notice, by arranging for city employees or private contractors to secure and board the structure, remove rubbish and debris, landscape, or make repairs. The cost of abating the nuisance condition, plus any applicable administrative costs or late fees, shall be charged to the owner and against the property. Such billing shall be a personal debt against the owner, which may be assessed as a lien against the property.
(B) The code official may abate the public nuisance without notice if the public health and safety requires immediate abatement.
(C) The billing of costs and fees for abatement shall not exclude the owner/agent from the issuance of citations for failing to meet any of the requirements under this subchapter.
