§ 8.16.170. Removal by city upon failure of property owner—Costs.

In case of the failure of any person having charge, control of or occupying any land within the city to comply with the provisions of Section 8.16.010 through 8.16.180, the city may perform or cause to be performed the removal of said garbage, trash or other offensive matter and substances, at the expense of such person, and the city shall have a lien for such expense placed upon the property until paid. The city may, however, foreclose such lien by appropriate legal proceedings, or may collect the cost of the work from the owner of the property or from any other person liable therefor through a civil action, or may pursue any other remedy authorized by law or ordinance.
