The provisions for prior notice and hearing may be dispensed with when, in the opinion of the Director with the concurrence of the City Manager, immediate action is necessary to summarily abate a dangerous condition on public or private property or an imminent threat to life or safety on public or private property. The Director shall take only such action as is reasonably necessary to summarily abate the danger, and shall thereafter expeditiously comply with CVMC 1.40.020 through 1.40.050 regarding notice and hearing, if requested, to the responsible party(ies) regarding the action taken by the Director to summarily abate the condition. The purpose of the hearing will be to afford the responsible party(ies) the opportunity to contest their responsibility for the costs or scope of abatement. If further corrective action is necessary, the Director will comply with this chapter and such other sections of the code as may be applicable regarding further corrective action. (Ord. 2718 § 3, 1998).
