§ 38-118. Abatement of nuisance by city.  


Latest version.
  • If no appeal is filed or the notice is returned undelivered, upon the expiration of the seven-day period after the mailing or hand delivery of the notice of violation and posting of the property, the enforcement official shall reinspect the lot to ascertain whether or not the nuisance has been abated. Should the enforcement official determine that the subject lot still constitutes a nuisance and has notified the owner as such, and the owner has failed to abate the nuisance within the allowed time, the enforcement official shall abate the nuisance no earlier than seven days from the mailing or hand delivery of the notice and the posting of the property. The enforcement official, through his agents or authorized contractors, is authorized to enter upon the lot and take such steps as are reasonably necessary to effect abatement.
