A. Any nuisance which the City reasonably determines to be imminently dangerous to the life, limb, health, or safety of the occupants of the property or to the public may be summarily abated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this section.

B. Actions taken to abate imminently dangerous property nuisances may include but are not limited to repair, removal or demolition of the condition creating the danger and/or the restriction from use or occupancy of the property on which the dangerous condition exists or any other abatement action determined by the City to be necessary.

C. Whenever the City determines that summary abatement is justified by an imminently dangerous condition, circumstance, or occurrence, the City shall give written notice to the property owner as to the nuisance. If the property owner cannot be located or the owner fails to take prompt appropriate action to abate the nuisance, the City may proceed to take abatement action authorized in this chapter to the extent necessary to remedy the immediate danger without further notice or right to a prior hearing.

D. Once summary abatement action has been completed, the property owner may contest the need for and cost of abatement action in the manner provided in this chapter. (Ord. 6156-NS § 4, 1992)
