The blight ordinance enforcement officer may enforce this section according to law by civil action or in such manner as authorized by town Charter and ordinance. In addition to any other administrative, legal or equitable remedy, such officer may serve written notice to an owner, agent, tenant or other responsible person of any violation and may order the correction and cessation of such violation and may establish deadlines, plans and methods for compliance, which shall constitute an order to abate. The notice may be hand delivered or mailed to the last known address of the owner, operator, or any of the persons identified in § 5-3. If the notice is mailed only to one of the responsible parties it shall in no way be, or be construed to be, a release of any other responsible party or evidence that any other party is responsible. If there is more than one responsible party identified in the order, the responsibility for complying with the order shall be joint and several. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the notice shall state the violation(s) of this section and, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, when necessary for the health and safety of town residents, the enforcement officer may require abatement within 24 hours from the time of notification or in exigent circumstances may require abatement immediately.
