(1) The City Recorder shall mail notice of the assessment for the cost of nuisance abatement to the property owner or his agent, stating:

(a) The date the notice is mailed;

(b) The cost of abatement;

(c) That the cost will be assessed to and become a lien against the property for the amount indicated;

(d) That objections to the proposed assessment must be made in writing and filed with the Recorder not more than 15 days after mailing the notice.

(2) Not less than 15 days after the date of the notice, objections to the proposed assessment shall be heard and determined by the Council in its regular course of business.

(3) An assessment for the cost of abatement as determined by the Council shall be entered in the docket of City liens. When the entry is made, or not less than 30 days after the mailing of the notice provided in subsection 1, whichever is later, it shall constitute a lien on the property from which the nuisance was abated.

(4) The lien shall be enforced in the same manner as liens for street improvements are enforced, and shall bear interest at the rate specified in section 3.470(2), beginning 10 days after the entry of the lien in the lien docket.

(5) An error in the name of the owner or agent in charge of the property or a failure to receive the notice of the assessment shall not render the assessment void, but it shall remain a valid lien against the property.
