9.08.070: FINDING OF NUISANCE:
If a city designated representative finds that a nuisance exists, the city designated representative will usually attempt to have the responsible person abate the nuisance. Although the city designated representative's first usual step in correcting or abating the nuisance will be to attempt to obtain voluntary compliance, the city designated representative may pursue any remedy or combination of remedies available pursuant to this chapter, state law or common law in order to abate the nuisance. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to prohibit the city from engaging in its standard prosecution or abatement practices. Therefore, the city may prosecute violators of city ordinances or state laws without first attempting to give notice as stated in this chapter. Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to prevent the city from enforcing applicable city ordinances, or building codes without first treating the offending conduct, situation or activity as a nuisance pursuant to this chapter.
