The procedure set forth in §§ 96.01 through 96.08 shall be in addition to any other remedies that may now or hereafter exist under law for the abatement of public nuisances. Nothing herein shall be read to limit the city's authority under G.S. § 160A-193 to summarily remove, abate, or remedy everything in the city limits, or within one mile thereof, that is dangerous or prejudicial to the public health or safety; provided, however, that the procedures set out in §§ 96.01 through 96.08 shall be used at all times unless the City Manager or the City Manager's designee makes a written finding that the condition in question poses an imminent threat to the safety of persons and property such that the procedures set forth in §§ 96.01 through 96.08, if followed, unreasonably delay necessary action to remove, abate, or remedy the condition.
