If it is determined that a nuisance as provided in section 16-14 is a hazard to the public safety and health, the code official may declare such structure a hazard. After notice is communicated to any owner of record to secure the structure and the owner does not secure the structure to city specifications, the hazard may be summarily abated by the city through boarding. The city may also post both the structure and the exterior premises with signs to provide reasonable notice prohibiting entry (i.e., "No Trespassing" signs). Any and all charges and costs arising from the city taking action to secure the structure shall be a lien filed against the real property containing such a structure.
