A. Whenever any administrative penalty and/or administrative cost is finally imposed under this Code, the City Clerk may, prior to creation of a lien as provided in this Section, record with the County Recorder a notice that the penalties and/or costs have been assessed, and of the City’s authority and intention to record a lien against the real property if such penalties and costs are not timely paid. Such notice shall identify the record property owners, and the date and amount of administrative penalties and/or administrative costs imposed against the property owner.

B. Whenever the amount of any administrative penalty and/or administrative cost imposed by the City Council pursuant to this Chapter in connection with real property has not been satisfied in full within 90 days or within such other time period as may be specifically required by this Code or by order of the City Council, and/or has not been successfully challenged by a timely writ of mandate, this obligation shall constitute a lien against the real property on which the violation occurred.

C. Interest shall accrue on the principal amount of the judgment remaining unsatisfied pursuant to law.

D. Prior to recording any such lien, the City Manager shall prepare and file with the City Clerk a report stating the amounts due and owing.

E. The City Clerk shall fix a time, date and place for hearing such report and any protests or objections thereto by the City Council.

F. The City Manager shall cause written notice to be served on the property owner not less than ten days prior to the time set for the hearing. Such notice shall be served as provided in Section 1.14.040. (Ord. 2013-2 § 6, 2013; Ord. 2006-4 § 2, 2006; Ord. 2004-2 § 2, 2004; Ord. 99-2 § 1, 1999.)
