The notice provided for in section 11-60 shall be given by registered letter to the owner at his last-known address and to the occupant; and if unoccupied, by posting the same in a conspicuous place on the property. If, within ten (10) days after giving such notice, the rubbish, garbage, filth, growing vegetation, foreign matter or thing mentioned in the notice shall not be removed, the chief of the fire department or director of public works, or their authorized deputies, shall then cause same to be removed at the expense of the owner of the property. A verified statement of the costs and expense in connection therewith shall be mailed to the record owner at his last-known address and to the occupant. The record owner shall be liable for the payment of the expense to the city, and an appropriate action in any court of competent jurisdiction may be maintained to collect the expense.
