In addition to the penalties prescribed above, the City Council may itself remedy a violation of this chapter and place a lien upon the property as permitted by law. Use of this provision, however, shall be preceded by written notification directed by certified mail to the owner of the property in violation. Said notification shall describe the violation and shall provide at least 10 calendar days from date of receipt of written notification during which the owner may cause the violation to be remedied. In the presence of seasonal or other practical consideration, the time period in which violations are to be remedied may be reasonably extended by written instrument acknowledged by the person responsible for such remedy and approved by the Director of Community and Economic Development charged with enforcement of this title. [Ord. 3515 § 1, 2001; Code 1970 § 25.58.160.]
