In the event the owner shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with the notice to abate, within the prescribed time, and if no appeal has been filed, or the owner appeals the notice to abate and fails to abate the nuisance within the time specified by the hearing officer in the notice of decision, the City shall have the power to abate such nuisance without further notice, including the power to condemn and destroy any property constituting the nuisance if the nuisance cannot be abated without destruction of such property. Said abatement may be pursued by City personnel or private contractor. The costs of abatement, including administrative and incidental expenses, shall be billed to the owner and shall be due and payable within thirty days thereafter.
