SEC. 31-11. NUISANCE - JUDGMENT IN MUNICIPAL COURT.

Whenever a judgment is rendered in the municipal court against a person for violation of a city ordinance and the violation is defined as a nuisance, the person shall abate and remove the nuisance within 24 hours after judgment is rendered. If the person fails to abate the nuisance, the chief of police may abate and remove the nuisance. The expense incurred in abating and removing the nuisance will result in a lien on the real estate whereupon the nuisance existed, which may be levied as a special tax against the real estate. (Ord. 14971)
