If the city wishes to bill the owner or occupant for the cost of removal of unwholesome material, prior to removal of the unwholesome material by the city, a representative of the city shall give the owner and the occupant of the premises on which the unwholesome material has been brought, left or deposited notice of the existence of such deposit. The representative of the city may also demand removal of the wholesome material. If a demand for removal of the unwholesome material is made in the notice, the notice shall also include a time period within which the unwholesome material must be removed. In addition, the notice shall advise the owner and occupant of the premises that after the expiration of the time period, the city may cause the removal of the unwholesome material. The notice shall also advise the owner and occupant of the premises that the cost of such removal by the city shall be billed to the owner and occupant of the premises and further advise the owner and occupant that unpaid costs of removal shall be a lien upon the property and may be collected in the same manner as a special assessment.
