Premises upon which nuisances or other conditions in violation of this chapter are found to exist by any city officer shall be reported to the Chief of Police, who shall, upon finding that such nuisance or violation does in fact exist, give notice to the owner, occupant, or person in charge of such premises, in a manner provided by law, to abate such nuisance within a period of time to be stated in such notice, not more than ten days; and it shall be unlawful for any person upon whom such notice is served to fail to comply therewith. Upon any such noncompliance after ten days, the Chief of Police shall proceed to abate such nuisance or violation, and the costs thereby incurred shall become a charge against the owner of such premises and a lien thereon, and shall be collectable in the same manner as taxes.
