   When any lot, building, or structure within the city, because of the accumulation of refuse or debris, the uncontrolled growing of weeds, or age or dilapidation, or because of any other condition or happening, becomes, in the opinion of the City Commission, a public hazard or nuisance which is dangerous to the health or safety of the inhabitants of the city of those of them residing or habitually going near much lot, building, or structure, the City Commission may, after investigation, give notice to the owner of the land upon which such hazard or nuisance exists, or the owner of the building or structure itself, specifying the nature of the hazard or nuisance, and requiring such owner to alter, repair, tear down, or remove same promptly and within a time to be specified by the City Commission, which shall be commensurate with the nature of the hazard or nuisance. If, at the expiration of the time limit in the notice, the owner has not complied with the requirements thereof, or in any case where the owner of the land or of the building or structure itself is not known, the City Commission may order such a hazard or nuisance abated by the proper department or agency of the city which is qualified to do the work required, and the costs of such abatement, assessed against the lot, premises or description of real property upon which said hazard or nuisance was located.
