  • (A)

    Upon determination by the appropriate department that a nuisance, as defined in this chapter or any other ordinance of the City, exists, that department shall promptly cause a notice to be mailed to the owner or person in charge of the property and posted on the premises where the nuisance exists directing the owner or person in charge of the property to abate such nuisance. This shall be done by certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the owner or person in charge of the property at the last known address of such person, and if no such address is known to the City, then to the address of the person who is the owner of record as shown on the current tax rolls of Jackson County, Oregon.

    (B)

    The notice to abate shall contain:

    (1)

    A description of the real property, by street address or otherwise, on which such nuisance exists;

    (2)

    A direction to abate the nuisance within ten days from the date of the notice;

    (3)

    A description of the nuisance;

    (4)

    A statement that unless such nuisance is removed the City may abate the nuisance and the cost of abatement shall be assessed to and become a lien against the property;

    (5)

    A statement that the owner or other person in charge of the property may protest the abatement by giving notice to the noticing department within ten days from the date of the notice;

    (6)

    A statement that failure to abate a nuisance may result in abatement by the City and/or the issuance of a civil infraction citation.

    (C)

    Upon completion of the posting and mailing, the department posting and mailing the notice shall execute and file a certificate stating the date and place of such mailing and posting.

    (D)

    An error in the name or address of the owner or person in charge of the property or the use of a name other than that of the owner or other person shall not make the notice void and in such a case the posted notice shall be sufficient.

    (E)

    If the person responsible is not the owner, an additional notice shall be sent to the owner, stating that the cost of abatement not paid by the person responsible may be assessed to and become a lien on the property.
