(A) It shall be the duty of the abatement official, upon discovery or upon receiving notice of any nuisance prohibited by this title, to immediately notify the offender to abate and remove the same within a time limit specified by the abatement official as more fully set out in § 11.12.030 of this chapter. The abatement official or any other person authorized to do so may also issue a citation for a violation of Chapter 11.08 at any time a nuisance is believed to exist. Any proceeding instituted for such a violation is separate from and shall not affect the abatement process provided for in this chapter.
(B) The abatement official may abate any public nuisance without notice in an emergency where the public safety, comfort or repose is seriously annoyed, injured or endangered to the point where immediate action is necessary and notice cannot be timely given. All abatement proceedings provided in this chapter, except the giving of notice, shall apply to the nuisance summarily abated, including the recovery of the costs of the summary abatement.
