(a) If a property owner, agent, or occupant fails, after receiving written notice, to abate the nuisance within the time allowed, the designated city official is hereby authorized and empowered to provide for the abatement of the nuisance.
(b) Upon completing the abatement, all related receipts and administrative costs will be billed to the owner, agent, or occupant. If full payment is not received from the owner, agent, or occupant within thirty (30) days, the city may tax the cost of the abatement and administrative costs by special assessment against the real property on which the nuisance occurred or, in the case of sidewalks, against the real property abutting or adjoining the sidewalk. Administrative costs shall be set by resolution and are applicable to any nuisance that is abated by the city or its designee.
