§ 4856-5. Abatement and cost thereof.

If after a hearing the examiner has ordered abatement of the nuisance, or if the Environmental Health Department has issued without a hearing an abatement order that has become final and conclusive, and if the responsible person has nevertheless failed to abate the nuisance within the time specified by the examiner or in the order, the Environmental Health Department may take whatever action is necessary to abate the nuisance, including hiring any other person to abate the nuisance, and the cost of such abatement shall be charged to the person responsible for the nuisance. Said person shall also be responsible for payment of the costs of summary abatement. All persons responsible for the nuisance shall be jointly and severally liable for payment of all costs of said abatement and shall reimburse the county for said costs.
