Whenever the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Officer finds
that an emergency exists on a property which requires immediate attention
to protect the public health or safety, the Officer may, without notice,
issue an order declaring the existence of such an emergency and requiring
that such action be taken as deemed necessary to abate the emergency.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter to the contrary,
such orders shall be effective immediately. The costs of any such
actions necessary to abate the emergency shall be the responsibility
of the property's owner and shall be assessed and collected in the
same manner as outlined in the "action upon noncompliance" provision
of this chapter.
