If after twenty days after mailing and posting notice the obstruction is not removed, such representatives of the city transportation engineer as he may so authorize may enter upon the premises and remove or eliminate the obstruction. When the city has performed this work, or has caused it to be performed, the actual cost thereof plus reasonable overhead charges as determined by the city transportation engineer, plus accrued interest at the rate of six percent per annum from the date of completion of the work if not paid, shall be charged to the owner of the affected property and shall constitute a special assessment against the property to be collected in the manner provided by law for the collection of municipal taxes. The cost of such abatement shall, in addition, be a personal obligation against the owner of the premises upon which the nuisance was maintained, recoverable by the city in an action before any court of competent jurisdiction.
