(SCC 0982 § 1, 1995; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4)

If, after any order of the hearing examiner made pursuant to this code has become final, the person to whom such order is directed shall fail, neglect or refuse to obey such order, the enforcement official may institute any appropriate action to abate such conditions on the subject premises which constitute the public nuisance.

(SCC 0982 § 1, 1995; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 50-2004 § 10)

A. Wherever the required abatement is not completed within the time so specified in the order, the enforcement official may, in addition to any other remedy herein provided, cause the nuisance to be abated, so as to put the premises in such a condition that no violation of this code exists thereon.

B. The cost of such abatement shall be assessed against the property as a lien or made a personal obligation of the owner thereof as provided in Article X of this chapter.

(SCC 0982 § 1, 1995; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 50-2004 § 10)

A. Upon receipt of an application from the person required to conform to the order by a date fixed in the order, and an agreement by such person that he will comply with the order if allowed additional time, the enforcement official may, in his discretion, grant an extension of time, not to exceed an additional 120 days, within which to complete such abatement, if the enforcement official determines that such an extension of time will not create or perpetuate a situation imminently dangerous to life or property.

B. The authority of the enforcement official to extend time is limited to the physical abatement of the nuisance or for such other purposes as may be reasonably required by the circumstances of the case, but such extension will not in any way affect or extend the time to appeal the order.

(SCC 0982 § 1, 1995; Ord. 20-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 21-2003 §§ 2, 4; Ord. 50-2004 § 10)

No person shall obstruct, impede or interfere with any officer, employee, contractor or authorized representative of the city, or with any person who owns or holds any estate or interest in any premises on which a nuisance exists and which must be abated under the provisions of this code, whenever such officer, employee, contractor or authorized representative of the city, or person having an interest or estate in such premises is engaged in the work of abating any nuisance as required by the provisions of this code, or in performing any necessary act preliminary to or incidental to such work authorized or directed pursuant to this code.
