It is the duty of a property owner to immediately remove, destroy or eradicate any condition on property prohibited by this chapter. Failure to timely and properly abate as identified in this chapter shall constitute a nuisance with the city authorized to abate the same. Prior to the city abating the condition creating a nuisance, the city shall:
A. Serve a written notice either personally or by certified mail upon the owner which states: 1) the description of the property involved and the prohibited condition; 2) the date by which the prohibited condition is to be corrected, which shall not be less than seven (7) days after receipt of the notice; and 3) that the city council intends to adopt by resolution an order authorizing the city to correct the prohibited condition, with all city costs becoming a charge against the owner and a lien upon the property.
Property owners may contest before the city council the allegations set forth in the notice on the date and time the resolution is placed on the council agenda. (Ord. 85A, 3-7-2017)
