If the responsible party does not maintain the property and correct identified nuisance conditions, the city may commence abatement and recover its costs for correction of those items in accordance with city code and State Statutes.

A single notice by the Community Development Department to the owner that it intends to provide ongoing abatement until the owner corrects the items shall be sufficient.
