Charges for the abatement of a violation shall be a lien upon the premises. Whenever a bill for such charges remains unpaid for 60 days after it has been rendered, the City Clerk may file with the County Recorder of Deeds a statement of lien claim. This statement shall contain a legal description of the premises, the expenses and costs incurred, the date of abatement and a notice that the city claims a lien for such amount. Notice of the lien claim shall be mailed to the owner of the premises if his or her address is known. However, failure of the City Clerk to record the lien claim or to mail the notice, or the failure of the owner to receive the notice, shall not affect the right to foreclose the lien for the charges as provided in § 152.36 below.
