§ 12.12.060. Nuisance declared and remedy.

Any obstruction maintained in violation of this chapter is deemed a nuisance, and upon failure to abate the same within 20 days after the posting upon the premises of notice to abate the nuisance, the city manager or his authorized agent may enter upon the premises and remove or eliminate the obstruction. In such event, the cost to the city of the abatement of the nuisance shall be a lien upon the premises provided a claim therefor is filed within the time and in the manner as prescribed in Section 1187 of the Code of Civil Procedure of this state. The cost of the abatement shall, in addition, be a personal obligation against the owner of the premises upon which the nuisance was maintained, recoverable by the city in an action before any court of competent jurisdiction.
