(a) 
If, after any notice of violation or any order of a hearing officer made pursuant to this chapter has become final, the person to whom such order is directed shall fail, neglect or refuse to obey such order, the department head is authorized and directed to cause the nuisance to be abated by city personnel or private contract. In furtherance of this section, the department head shall obtain a warrant, if required, and thereafter is expressly authorized to enter upon the premises for the purpose of abating the nuisance.
(b) 
Additionally, any person who fails to obey such order shall be guilty of a misdemeanor punishable as specified in Section 23.02.030 of this chapter.
(Ord. 2219, 2005)
No person shall obstruct, impede or interfere with any officer, employee, contractor or authorized representative of the city, or with any person who owns or holds any estate or interest in any premises on which a nuisance exists and which must be abated under the provisions of this chapter, whenever such officer, employee, contractor or authorized representative of the city, or person having an interest or estate in such premises is engaged in the work of abating any nuisance as required by the provisions of this chapter, or in performing any necessary act preliminary to or incidental to such work authorized or directed pursuant to this chapter.

(a) 
The department head shall keep an account of the costs and expenses of abating such nuisance, and shall render a statement of such costs to the person or persons receiving the notice to abate.
(b) 
Such person or persons receiving the notice of violation or decision of the hearing officer shall be liable to the city for any and all costs and expenses to the city involved in abating the nuisance. Such costs and expenses are due upon receipt of the statement required in subsection (a) of this section.
(c) 
Costs and expenses as referred to in this section shall include all costs allowed to be recovered by law, including attorneys' fees as allowed by Government Code Section 38773.5 or its successor.
(Ord. 2219, 2005)
If the person liable to pay the costs of abatement fails to do so within thirty calendar days of receiving the statement of such costs, the city may initiate proceedings to have such costs assessed against the real property or premises on which the city abated the nuisance. Such proceedings and notice of such proceedings shall be performed in accordance with Section 54954.6 of the California Government Code. The costs of abatement shall be treated as a new assessment for purposes of Section 54954.6. No majority protest rights exist for this assessment. The department head shall present to the city council a report of costs for abating the nuisance at the public meeting required by Section 54954.6.
(Ord. 2219, 2005)
(a) 
The total cost for abating a nuisance shall constitute a special assessment against the premises to which it relates, and upon recordation in the office of the county recorder of a notice of lien, shall constitute a lien on the property for the amount of such assessment. The procedure for collecting abatement costs through a special assessment lien shall be in accordance with California Government Code Section 38773.5.
(b) 
After such recordation, a copy of the lien shall be turned over to the county tax assessor, who shall then enter the amount of the lien on the assessment rolls as a special assessment.
Thereafter, said amount shall be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subject to the same penalties and the same procedure under foreclosure and sale in case of delinquency as provided by Government Code Section 38773.5 and as provided for ordinary municipal taxes.
