A. Whenever the District Engineer with responsibility to enforce any of the provisions of this chapter determines that a public nuisance exists as a result of violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, he may issue a written order requiring that the conditions constituting the nuisance be abated within a period of ten days thereafter. He shall forthwith serve the order on the person maintaining such nuisance, or the person occupying any premises on which a nuisance is found to exist. If no person is occupying the premises, the order shall be posted upon the premises in a conspicuous place and a copy shall be mailed to the owners of the premises as their names and addresses appear upon the last equalized assessment roll.

B. An order for abatement shall continue in full force and effect until modified or rescinded by the District Engineer issuing the same or until modified, vacated or superseded by order of the Board of Directors, after hearing, as provided in this chapter. The time specified in the order may, for good cause, be extended by written order of the issuing District Engineer. The order shall advise the person served of his right to appeal to the Board of Directors and that the order will be stayed pending such appeal. (Ord. 72 §1, 1991; Ord. 45 §3.1, 1984; Ord. 39 §2.2, 1983)
