§ 92.34 ENFORCEMENT AND PENALTIES.
   (A)   A violation of this subchapter constitutes a civil offense and shall be subject to the penalties established by § 92.13 of this code.
   (B)   In addition to other remedies set out in this subchapter or by statute, should the chronic nuisance property not be abated at the time stated in the notice to abate, the Code Enforcement Officer shall be authorized to issue any appropriate citation. Upon failure of the property owner to request a hearing before the Code Enforcement Board, an order may be issued condemning and vacating the premises or portions thereof to the extent necessary to abate the chronic nuisance property. Any close and vacate order shall be for a period of less than one (1) year from the date of closing and rescind within fourteen (14) days of abatement. If the property consists of multi-unit dwellings, and the nuisance activity has occurred solely within a single unit, the condemnation and vacate order may be limited to the single unit.
   (C)   Upon the issuance of any order provided for in this section, a copy of the order shall be served on the owner of the property in accordance with the methods of service listed in § 32.06(C) of this code.
   (D)   Nothing in this subchapter shall prevent the city from pursuing additional remedies including judicial actions provided by statute or common law to enjoin or otherwise remedy the chronic nuisance.
