All violations of this chapter constitute a public nuisance and associated enforcement costs are considered costs of abatement. All unpaid abatement costs may be secured by a nuisance abatement lien recorded on title to the property where the violation occurred and by special assessment placed on the tax bill of said property. All steps taken to impose a lien and create a special assessment shall comply with applicable requirements of state law. (§ 12, Ord. 1523, eff. July 7, 2020)
