C. Administrative Order: Whenever the code enforcement officer determines that a public health nuisance exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, said official may issue an order citing the existence of the public health nuisance and require that action be taken as he deems necessary. The action required by said official shall depend upon, but not be limited to, the nature of the condition, the danger to the public health which the condition presents, the condition or deterioration of the premises or the time reasonably necessary to take the required action. If the owner or occupant does not comply with the order within the time frame specified in said order, said official may authorize the taking of the action specified in the order. Any costs incurred in abating the public health nuisance may be assessed to the owner of the property personally, to the property, or both. This remedy does not preclude the issuing of a citation or the applicability of section 4-4-14 of this chapter for a violation of this chapter. (Ord. 4443, 11-6-2000)
