§ 18-155. Noncompliance with notice; abatement by city; costs.

Upon the failure of any owner and/or occupant to comply with the directives of any notice of violation issued by the city, the city or its authorized agent may enter upon the premises in violation and take whatever measures are necessary to remove the conditions or accumulations contributing to the violation and to exterminate or otherwise eliminate the rats. The costs incurred by the city for the same shall be billed to the owner of the property as listed on the last tax assessment roll. The bill shall be sent by first class mail to the address shown on the records. The property owner's failure to pay the same within 30 days of the assessment shall result in the city's adding the same to the next city tax roll, and the tax shall be collected in the same manner as provided by law for the collection of taxes by the city.
