§ 74-161. Jurisdiction to abate.

(a)

Summary abatement. Any judge of the municipal court or the mayor or designee shall have the power to order the removal and abatement, without hearing, of those things which are declared either by the common or by the statute law to be nuisances, or which are nuisances per se and from their nature indisputably are so.

(b)

Service of notice to abate. Any requirement of service of notice to abate a nuisance, which may be summarily abated, may be complied with by the mailing of such notice by registered mail to the last-known address of the person so to be notified.

(c)

Service on complaint to abate a nuisance. On the hearing of any complaint before a judge of the municipal court concerning a nuisance and removal and abatement, reasonable notice by personal service shall be given to the parties interested, the owner or occupant of the premises where the alleged nuisance is taking place, or upon the person causing the nuisance, of the time and place of the hearing upon the complaint.

(d)

Persons authorized to perform the removal or abatement of nuisances. After a nuisance has been ordered to be abated or removed, as provided in this section, it may be removed or otherwise abated by any employee designated by the mayor.
