1.12.180   Lien procedure.
   (a)   Whenever the amount of any administrative penalty and/or administrative cost imposed pursuant to this chapter in connection with real property has not been satisfied in full within ninety days after the administrative penalty and/or administrative cost imposition becomes final, unless tolled by a timely request for judicial review pursuant to California Government Code Section 53069.4 or reversed by court order, this obligation may constitute a lien against any real property involved where any violation was determined to concern the condition of that real property.

   (c)   Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the judgment remaining unsatisfied pursuant to law.
   (d)   Prior to recording any such lien, the director of administrative services shall prepare and file with the city clerk a report stating the amounts due and owing.
   (e)   The city clerk shall fix a time, date, and place for hearing such report and any protests or objections thereto by the city council.
   (f)   The director of administrative services shall cause written notice to be served on each property owner whose interest is disclosed by the current county equalized assessment roll not less than ten days prior to the time set for the hearing.
