Whenever the enforcing officer becomes aware that an owner or occupant has failed to abate a fire hazard, or vegetation otherwise noxious or dangerous, in a condition of growth constituting a menace to public health, or any other violation of this chapter, within the time specified for abatement, the enforcing officer may take one or more or all of the following actions:
(A) Enter upon the property and abate the nuisance by county personnel, or by private contractor under the direction of the enforcing officer. The enforcing officer may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a warrant authorizing entry upon the property for purposes of undertaking the work. If any part of the work is to be accomplished by private contract, that contract shall be submitted to and approved by the Board of Supervisors prior to commencement of work. Nothing herein shall be construed to require that any private contract under this Code be awarded through competitive bidding procedures where such procedures are not required by the general laws of the State of California or county ordinance.
(B) Request that the County Counsel commence a civil action to redress, enjoin, and abate the public nuisance, pursuant to § 1.03.003 of the San Benito County Code.
