(a) Upon failure, neglect or refusal of any owner or agent notified as provided in this article to cut, destroy or remove weeds, grass, trash, rubbish or other matters as required under the notice provided in section 34-123, within ten days upon receipt of the notice, the city may, in addition to other penalties provided for in this code, pay for the cutting, destroying or removing of such material or effect the removal by the city.

(b) After causing the condition to be remedied, the building official shall certify to the city treasurer the expense incurred in remedying the condition and shall include a copy of the notice whereupon such expense shall become payable within 30 days. After the 30 days, a special assessment lien in charge will be made against the property, which shall be payable with interest at the rate of eight percent per annum from the date of such certification until paid.

(c) Such liens shall be enforceable in the same manner as a tax lien in favor of the city and may be satisfied at any time of payment thereof, including accrued interest. Upon such payment, the clerk of the circuit court shall, by appropriate means, evidence the satisfaction and cancellation of such lien upon the record thereof and notify the tax collector of such satisfaction. Notice of such lien may be filed in the office of the clerk of the circuit court and recorded among the public records of the county.
