In the event that a property owner fails to comply with the applicable provisions of this chapter, the city is authorized and empowered, but shall have no obligation, to notify the property owner of the violation and to direct the property owner to remove the nuisance. Such notice shall be in writing, addressed to the property owner as appears on the latest ad valorem property tax assessment roll and shall inform the property owner:
(A) Of the nature of the violation.
(B) Of the time in which the violation may be abated, which time shall not be less than five days nor more than 10 days from the date of the notice.
(C) That the city may act to abate the violation if it is not abated by the owner within the time allowed.
(D) That in the event the city abates the nuisance, the cost of abatement plus an administrative fee shall be assessed as a lien against the property until paid.
(E) That refusal of the property owner to abate the nuisance or to allow the city to abate a violation or nuisance shall result in prosecution.
(F) The failure to receive such notice shall not be a defense to any function brought by a member of the public for injury or by the city to collect the costs of abatement or impose penalties or other fees as authorized by this subchapter.
