The purpose of this chapter is to set forth standards for the declaration of a property or condition as a public nuisance, to declare vacant properties as nuisances, to authorize the abatement of nuisances by the City and to establish the procedures for the abatement of nuisances, in order to prevent hazards to the health, safety and welfare of the public, to prevent blight in residential and other areas, and to prevent conditions which impair or adversely affect the value of neighboring properties.
(Ord. 2017-11. Passed 5-22-17.)
Whenever there shall be done or exist on any property an act, thing, or condition of a kind which has been or may hereafter be defined by ordinance, including a Codified Ordinance, as a nuisance, the Director of Public Service, or their designees, are authorized and directed promptly to enter and inspect the premises or structure where such nuisance is found to exist to determine the extent and nature of the nuisance and whether it has been abated, provided permission to enter or inspect is obtained from the owner or his or her agent. If such permission is refused or is otherwise unobtainable, a search warrant shall be obtained before such entry or inspection is made, except in the case of an existing emergency in which case entry or inspection may be made at any time and no search warrant is necessary. No person shall refuse to permit such emergency entry or inspection, nor shall any person hinder, obstruct, resist or abuse any person making or attempting to make such inspection.
