(A) Within 14 days after receipt of mailing of a warning notice, as provided in § 130.56, the person responsible shall abate the nuisance or prove to the city no nuisance exists.
(B) A person responsible may contest that no nuisance exists by filing with the city within 14 days a written statement describing in detail the basis, reasons and facts for denying the nuisance exists. This statement shall be received within 14 days from the date of receipt of the notice. The person responsible may request an extension from the city at any time within the original 14 days provided for nuisance abatement.
(C) The city shall have 14 days to respond in writing. The response shall indicate either:
(1) The nuisance no longer exists and no further action is required;
(2) The city may allow an extension to abate, not to exceed 30 days; and/or
(3) The nuisance still exists. If the nuisance still exists, then the city shall notify the person responsible to abate the nuisance immediately and shall issue a citation as soon as practicable.
(D) Once the final date allowed to abate has passed and the city determines the nuisance has not been abated, the city shall then cite the person responsible into municipal court.
