A. Every abatement order issued under this chapter shall set forth the reasons for its issuance; shall be reasonably specific in its terms; shall describe in reasonable detail the acts and conditions authorized, required or prohibited; and shall be binding upon the parcel, the person issued the notice and order, all persons with a legal or equitable interest in the parcel, and their agents, employees or other representatives.

B. Abatement orders shall be narrowly tailored to address the particular kinds of separate violations that form the basis of the alleged public nuisance. Such orders may:

1. Require those bound by the order to take specified steps to abate the public nuisance;

2. Require those bound by the order to require certain named individuals to stay away from the parcel at all times or for some specified reasonable period of time;

3. Allow city officials and employees to access to the parcel to inspect it for compliance with an abatement order; and

4. Require all actions which are necessary for the purposes of abating the public nuisance or preventing the public nuisance from occurring or recurring; provided, however, that no such order shall require the seizure of, the forfeiture of title to, or the temporary or permanent closure of, a parcel, or the appointment of a special receiver to protect, possess, maintain or operate a parcel. [Ord. 02-06 § 2.]
