§ 18-14. Abatement of public nuisance.
(a)
If the public nuisance is not corrected within the time specified on the notice, or if an administrative hearing has not been requested pursuant to section 18-16, the director may either refer the case to the special magistrate as a violation of this article, and/or the city may abate the public nuisance.
(b)
Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit the director from immediately abating nuisances on an emergency basis. The property owner shall be notified as immediately as possible regarding such abatement, however, this notice shall not cause for delaying such abatement of an imminent public health hazard. An emergency is defined as a hazard imminently dangerous to the health, safety or welfare of the public.
