At such a public hearing the City shall consider such evidence and testimony of interested persons as may be relevant to the matter. If upon the conclusion of a public hearing, the City makes a written finding that a Maintenance Deficiency exists and that there appears to be non-compliance with the maintenance and repair obligations referenced in Section 3(A) of this Agreement, the City shall have the right to record the notice described in Section 3(I) of this Agreement and thereafter the City may enter upon or otherwise access the Property for the purpose of curing the Maintenance Deficiency without further notice to Owner. The foregoing notwithstanding, the City, without notice to Owner, shall have the right to enter the Property and remove graffiti, solid waste, trash, or other debris under the following two circumstances: (i) a failure by Owner to remove graffiti within twenty-four (24) hours following its application on any structure, fixture or other improvement located on the Property that is visible from an adjacent or contiguous public right-of- way; or (ii) a failure by Owner to remove the accumulation of solid waste, trash, or other debris that is visible for a duration of twenty-four (24) hours from an adjacent or contiguous public right-of-way or from a designated fire lane on the Property. Any sum expended by the City for the removal of graffiti, solid waste, trash, or other debris pursuant to this Section 3(G)(2) of the Agreement shall become a lien on the Property in accordance with Section 3(H) and the City shall have the right to enforce such lien in the manner provided in Section 3(I). City's Lien Authority. Any sums expended by the City in enforcing, maintaining, repairing or replacing, curing any element of the Property of the Project as authorized in Section 3 for which a Maintenance Deficiency has been declared by the City to exist under Section 3(G), shall become a lien on the Property. The powers conferred upon City pursuant to this Section 3(H) are in addition to all other remedies which the City may have to enforce this Agreement, or any building or development project permit under other law including public nuisance abatement proceedings or any other action at law or equity. Enforcement of Liens by the City. The rights conferred upon the City by Owner under Section 3 of this Agreement expressly include the power to establish and enforce a lien or other encumbrances against the Property or any portion thereof, subject to all then existing other liens and encumbrances on the Property, in an amount reasonably necessary to reimburse the City for its reasonable costs of the necessary and reasonable costs incurred by the City under Section 3(G) to restore the Property and the Project to the maintenance standard required under this Section 3, including reasonable attorney's fees and costs of the prevailing party associated with the correction of the Maintenance Deficiency in connection with such action. If the amount of any such lien as relates to a Maintenance Deficiency is not paid within thirty (30) calendar days after written notice by the City to Owner, demanding such payment, the City shall have the right to enforce its lien in accordance with the statutory authority referenced under this Section 3(I)(1). The prevailing party in a collection or other lien enforcement action authorized by this Section 3(I) shall also have the right to collect its reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses associated with any action or proceeding to enforce or defend its rights hereunder. In the event that the City makes a written finding that a Maintenance Deficiency exists on the Project as provided in Section 3(G), then in addition its lien powers under Section 3(I)(1), the City may record a notice of correction of Maintenance Deficiency be recorded against the Property. Such a notice of Maintenance Deficiency shall refer to Section 3(G) of the Agreement, be signed by the Executive Director of the Planning and Building Agency and shall have a duration following the date of its recordation until such date the Maintenance Deficiency is corrected. No approval by Owner shall be necessary for the City to establish and foreclose a lien for non-payment of amounts expended by the City to cure a Maintenance Deficiency under Section 3 of this Agreement.
