(A) Any property legally noticed shall be brought into compliance with the notice within 20 days of the date of the notice. Upon failure to comply with the notice of violation, any duly authorized employee of the jurisdiction or contractor hired by the jurisdiction shall be authorized to enter upon the property in violation and remove or destroy the offending matter. The costs of such abatement or removal shall be charged to the property owner. If the bill is not satisfied within 30 days of the date of the billing, payment will be sought either through a collection agency or by placing a lien on the subject property.
(B) Any private person may also abate a public nuisance which is especially injurious to such person or any private nuisance injurious to such person by removing or if necessary destroying that which constitutes the nuisance without committing a breach of the peace or doing unnecessary injury. If a private nuisance results from a mere omission of the wrongdoer, and cannot be abated without entering upon the wrongdoer’s land, reasonable notice shall be given to the wrongdoer, in writing, before entering the property to abate it.
