If it is determined that a public nuisance has been created, or is being maintained, by violation of this chapter (as set forth hereinabove), but that the nature of the nuisance is not so as to threaten great and immediate danger to the public health, safety, peace, morals or decency, written notice shall be served on the person causing or maintaining the nuisance to remove or correct the same (identifying the nature of the violation) within a specified reasonable time. The offender shall, within the period of time stated in the notice, abate the nuisance and permanently cease all violations.
   (C)   Abatement of nuisance; immediate danger. If it is determined that a public nuisance caused by the violation of this chapter exists, and that there is great and immediate danger to the public health, safety, peace, morals or decency, the Mayor, City Engineer or Chief of Police may cause the same to immediately be abated, and charge the cost thereof to the owner, occupant or person causing, permitting or maintaining the nuisance, as the case may be. If notice to abate the nuisance has been given to the owner, the cost shall be assessed against the real estate as a special charge.
