(A) The city will work with applicants for consistent enforcement of the city minimum standards. If a responsible party fails or refuses to meet the requirements of the maintenance covenant or any provision of this chapter, the city, after reasonable notice, may correct a violation by performing all necessary work to place the BMP in proper working condition. In the event that the stormwater BMP becomes a danger to public safety or public health, the city shall notify the party responsible for maintenance of the stormwater BMP in writing.
(B) Upon receipt of that notice, the responsible person shall have 30 days to effect maintenance and repair of the stormwater BMP in an approved manner. After proper notice, the city may assess, jointly and severally, the owner(s) of the stormwater BMP, or the property owners or the parties responsible for maintenance under any applicable written agreement, for the cost of repair work and any penalties; and the cost of the work shall be a lien on the property, or prorated against the beneficial users of the property, and may be placed on the tax bill and collected as ordinary taxes.
