A. In the event that compliance is not achieved through the measures outlined in GHMC 19.16.040 through 19.16.080, or that said measures are not, at the reasonable discretion of the administrator, appropriate to remedy the violation, the city may declare the violation a public nuisance, and remove or correct the same through any lawful means of abatement that is determined to be proper by the city attorney.

B. Using any lawful means, the city may enter unsecured property and may remove or correct a violation which is subject to abatement with the consent of the owner and person in control of the premises. If the owner and person in control of the premises do not consent to entry, the city may seek such judicial process in Pierce County superior court as it deems necessary to effect the removal or correction of such condition. (Ord. 1226 § 1, 2011).
