(A) Whenever the amount of any administrative penalty and/or administrative cost imposed by the hearing officer pursuant to this subchapter in connection with real property has not been satisfied in full within 90 days and/or has not been successfully challenged by a timely writ of mandate, this obligation may constitute a lien against the real property on which the violation occurred.

(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 Community Development, or his or her designee, shall cause written notice to be served on the property owner not less than ten days prior to the time set for the hearing. Such notice shall be served as provided in division (G).
