Within 30 days of the closure of the property, the property owner shall submit to
the director of the neighborhood services department for approval a plan of action
as described in paragraph (e)(5) of this section intended to prevent the property
from being a chronic nuisance property after the period of closure expires. The plan
shall include any lawful method of abatement and remediation as deemed applicable
by the director of the neighborhood services department. If the property owner, lessor
or lessee submits proof satisfactory to the board that the nuisance(s) has been abated
for a period of 30 days, the board may vacate the provisions of the order directing

If a property or a portion thereof is ordered closed, it shall be unlawful to occupy
the property ordered closed or allow the property ordered closed to be occupied during
the period of closure.

Any closure pursuant to this section shall not constitute an act of possession, ownership
or control of the closed structure by the city.

steps to undertake and complete the work necessary to abate the chronic nuisance and/or
close and secure the structure and shall assess the costs to the owner as a special
tax bill. The special tax bill from the date of its issuance shall be deemed a personal
debt against the person or persons who were the owners of record of the property at
the time the city caused the nuisance thereon to be abated. If there was more than
one owner of record of the property at the time the city caused the nuisance thereon
to be abated, they shall be jointly and severally liable for the personal debt paid
