The abatements are accomplished by board -ups and/or demolition of dangerous and abandoned structures. Depending on the urgency of immediate threat to public safety and life and property, property owners are given between 2 to 30 days to abate the conditions or the City, through its contractors, will perform the work. The property owners are then invoiced forthe abatement costs every 30 days until the Planning and Building Agency is reimbursed for the expenditure. Each year, the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse against reluctant property owner(s) in order to recover the costs expended by the City for abatement of dangerous and abandoned properties. This year the outstanding charge for work performed on one parcel is $3,248.91(Exhibit 1). The property owner names are provided in Exhibit 2. The most effective method of collection is to submit these charges to the office of the County Auditor/Controller in order that they may be placed as a lien on the property tax rolls.
