(A) If a timely appeal is not received by the City Clerk, the right to appeal is waived and the notice of abatement is final and binding and shall be deemed a conclusive admission that: (1) the nuisance activity or condition described in the notification of nuisance does or did exist, (2) that the person(s) to whom the notice was directed was, in fact, the person(s) responsible for creating or maintaining the nuisance condition or activity, and (3) that the time specified in the notice for the correction or abatement of the nuisance was, in fact, reasonable under the circumstances. In such instances, the city may cause the abatement of any or all of the nuisance conditions or activities stated in the notice of abatement. The city shall follow the administrative procedures stated in this chapter for recovery of all abatement costs, fees and expenses (incidental or otherwise). Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the city from seeking an order of restitution for abatement costs from a court of competent jurisdiction in connection with a civil or criminal judicial proceeding.
(B) Nothing contained in this chapter shall obligate the city to undertake abatement actions pursuant to a notice of abatement, whether or not there is a timely appeal.
