In addition to any penalty prescribed in Section 1460.99, if the owner, occupant or person having control of any premises in the City fails, neglects or refuses to abate the nuisance in the notice described, as herein provided, within three days after receipt of such notice, the nuisance may shall be abated by the City through its employees or by a private contractor under the direction of the Service Director. The full cost and expense of abating such nuisance, plus a penalty of $300.00 for the first offense and $500.00 for the second offense and all others thereafter shall be charged to the owner, occupant or person having control of the property affected, payable in cash within ten days from the date of delivery of the bill to the owner, occupant or person in control of the property. In the event of default of payment the total bill shall be certified to the County Auditor for collection in the same manner as other taxes and assessments are assessed and collected. Assessments against more than one parcel of land and separate owners may be combined in one assessing ordinance, provided the assessment of any individual parcel is limited to the work performed on that parcel.
