  • To compel the abatement and removal of all nuisances within the City or upon property owned by the City, at the expense of the person or persons causing the same or of the owner or occupant of the grounds or premises whereon the nuisance may be located. To require all lands, lots, and other premises within the City to be kept clean, sanitary, and free from weeds, or to make them so at the expense of the owners or occupants thereof. The City may, moreover, impose a special assessment lien against the owner's property and/or the occupant's property for the expenses it incurs in making lands, lots, and other premises clean, sanitary, and free from weeds when, after reasonable notice, the owners or occupants fail to do so. The resulting special assessment liens shall be of equal rank and dignity as tax liens.
