Where the enforcement officer has determined that the condition causing the nuisance is imminently dangerous to human life or limb, or to public health or safety, the enforcement officer may include in the notice of nuisance an order that the property, building or structure affected shall be vacated pending abatement of the conditions causing a nuisance.

B.

Contents of Notice. The notice of nuisance shall contain the following:

1.

The street address, assessor's parcel number, and other description sufficient to identify the property affected;

2.

A description of the condition constituting the nuisance. If the enforcement officer determines that the condition causing the nuisance can be corrected or abated by repair or corrective action, the notice shall state the repairs or corrective actions that shall be required;

3.

An order to completely abate the nuisance within a reasonable period of time, not less than two weeks, as the enforcement officer may specify;

4.

A statement that if the nuisance is not abated as specified, the board of supervisors shall conduct a hearing to consider whether to order abatement of the nuisance by the owner or responsible party, or alternatively by the county, and to consider whether to levy an assessment pursuant to Sections 1.20.100 and 1.20.120 to recover the costs of such abatement. Costs of abatement shall include all enforcement investigative and administrative expenses.
