§ 10-36. Unaddressed or recurrent violations; manager's declaration.

If the initial complaint is unanswered or when a second violation should occur after the initial complaint, the public officer shall petition the manager to act as authorized by the city council, and declare that the general public notice and the first complaint notice were sufficient, that persistent or recurring violations are likely to continue, that the current unanswered violation and any subsequent violations are subject to public abatement without need of further individual notice to the responsible person to abate other than hanging a door tag or posting the property, and that assessment of enhanced costs are appropriate. The declaration shall inform that the amount of the cost of such abatement, if borne by the public, shall be a lien against the real property upon which such cost was incurred and shall be collectible in the same manner as municipal taxes. The manager's declaration shall be served upon the responsible person as provided in section 10-33(b). The manager shall make a report to city council of every declaration of persistent or recurring violations.
