In case a building or other structure is or is proposed to be located, constructed, maintained, repaired, altered or used, or land is or is proposed to be used, in violation of this Title, the building or land thus in violation shall constitute a nuisance. The City may, as an alternative to other remedies that are legally available for enforcing this Title, institute injunction, mandamus, abatement or other appropriate proceedings to prevent, enjoin temporarily or permanently, abate or remove the unlawful location, construction, maintenance, repair, alteration or use. Costs incurred as a result of entering into any such action shall be borne by the property owner and may become a lien against the property. (Ord. 688, 6-15-1999)
