Imperial Municipal Code Art. IV Emergency Procedure

14-50 Emergency Abatement.

(a) Whenever any nuisance as defined herein constitutes an immediate hazard
to life, health or property and, in the opinion of the applicable abatement
official including, without limitation, the fire marshal, the building
official, (nuisance abatement/code enforcement officer, or their designee
or representative), abatement must be undertaken within less than the
designated period, the building official (nuisance abatement/code
enforcement officer, or their designee or representative) may abate or
cause to be abated all or any portion of the nuisance as may be necessary
to protect life, health or property. Notice shall be given to the parties
concerned as circumstances will permit, but notice need not be given
whenever, in the opinion of the building official, (nuisance
abatement/code enforcement officer, or their designee or representative)
with the approval of the city attorney, immediate action is necessary.

(b) Any attractive nuisance dangerous to children shall be abated by
emergency abatement procedures.

pursuant to the preceding section, the applicable abatement official including, without limitation, the fire marshal, the building official (nuisance abatement/code enforcement officer, or their designee or representative) shall submit to all members of the council a written report indicating the location of the nuisance and the reasons requiring emergency abatement thereof. A copy of this report shall be attached to, or included as part of, notice to the owner of record when notice is given as previously provided in this article. Additionally, said official or his designee will direct a copy of this report to the board of appeals (where such board is other than the City Council.)
