A. Investigation of Complaint. Upon receipt of information or upon personal observation that a violation exists as defined in this chapter, the enforcement officer shall cause an investigation of the matter and premises involved. All entries upon

premises for the purpose of this chapter shall be subject to subsection (I) of this section.

B. Abatement Procedure. After having made a finding that a violation exists, the enforcement officer shall require the owner of the premises involved, as listed by the Lewis County assessor’s office, to abate the violation at his or her own cost and expense, in whole or in part. The enforcement officer shall give written notice to the owner describing the property involved, the condition to be corrected, and a specified reasonable time within which the owner must correct the condition, which shall not be less than fourteen days from the date of service by mail as evidenced by the postmark on the notice. In the event of an emergency condition, of which the enforcement officer shall be the sole judge, the time of compliance may be reduced to twenty-four hours. The notice must further specify:

1. That if the owner fails to abate the violation within the specified period of time, the city shall cause the work to be performed and shall assess all or any portion of the cost thereof against the owner;

2. That the owner may be liable for civil penalties for each day or part of day that the condition continues to exist following the notice; and

3. That the owner additionally may be liable to criminal prosecution, as provided in this chapter.

C. Service of Notice of Violation. The notice given by the enforcement officer to the owner shall be deposited in the United States Mail by certified mail with a return receipt requested or shall be personally served by delivering a copy thereof to the owner or by leaving the same with a person of suitable age (eighteen years or older) and discretion at the owner’s place of residence. If the owner is not a resident of the city, the notice shall be served by leaving the same with the tenant in possession of the property or, if there is no such tenant, by posting a copy of the notice in a conspicuous place on the property involved, and by mailing a copy thereof to the owner at his or her last known address as listed by the Lewis County assessor’s office, if any. Service by mail will be deemed complete at the end of the third full day following its deposit in the U.S. Mail, postage prepaid.

D. Failure to Comply with Notice of Violation. After the time for compliance and a notice of violation has expired, the code enforcement officer shall reinspect the premises and determine if the violation has been abated as required in the notice of violation. In the event of no action or insufficient action to abate the violation, the code enforcement officer may take any and all means necessary to enforce the applicable code, including but not limited to: issuance of civil infractions, issuance of criminal citations, commencement of civil, criminal, and equitable proceedings with the assistance of the city attorney to abate a violation and have the violation abated by the city.

E. Liability for Costs of Abatement. The property owner shall be liable for all costs and expenses associated with a violation abatement conducted by the city of any building, structure or on the premises. In all cases where the city abates any such violation, the enforcement officer shall keep an account of all costs and expenses attending such abatement. The amount of the cost of such abatement shall be assessed against the real property upon which such cost was incurred unless such amount is previously paid. Upon certification to the Lewis County treasurer by the finance director of the city of Centralia, the treasurer shall enter the amount of such assessment upon the tax rolls against the property for the current year and the same shall become a part of the general taxes for that year to be collected at the same time and with interest at such rates and in such manner as provided for delinquent taxes, and when collected to be deposited to the credit of the general fund of the municipality. The assessment shall constitute a lien against the property which shall be of equal rank with state, county and municipal taxes. The city shall reserve the right to negotiate with property owners to recover the costs of abatement.

F. Liability for Continuing Violation. Every successive owner or occupant of property who neglects to abate a continuing violation upon or in the use of such property caused by a former owner is liable thereof in the same manner as the owner who created it.
