§ 12:406.3. Procedures.

(a)

Whenever any public nuisance exists on occupied or unoccupied premises within the city-parish in violation of section 12:406, the enforcing agency shall order the owner of the property upon which the swimming pool is situated to abate the same. Such order shall:

(1)

Be in writing;

(2)

Specify the location of the swimming pool; and

(3)

Provide for abatement of the nuisance within ten (10) days from service thereof.

(b)

The order shall be served upon the owner of the property upon which the swimming pool is situated by serving him/her personally or by sending the order by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last address of record in the most recent parish assessment roll. If the property is owned in indivision and the owners in indivision, with their proportionate share in the property, are listed separately in the assessment roll, then each owner in indivision must be served. Refusal of service or of certified mail shall constitute notice.

(c)

Within the ten-day period after services of notice, the owner of the swimming pool shall abate the nuisance. It shall be the responsibility of the owner to notify the enforcing agency that the nuisance has been abated before the time period for compliance expires.

(d)

If the owner of the swimming pool fails to abate the nuisance within the ten-day period after notification, the chief of police or sheriff may issue a misdemeanor summons to the owner of the swimming pool.
