(a) All final costs, fees, and administrative penalties assessed against a person for violations of Section 451 through 456.4, inclusive, or the California Retail Food Code shall be an obligation owed to the City by the person found to have violated these sections, and the owner of the property where the food preparation and service establishment is located, provided that both have been given adequate notice of the alleged violation(s). Such obligation may be collected by means of the imposition of a lien against the property of the owner of the property or the person or business against whom the final administrative or civil penalty was assessed. The City shall mail to the owner of the property and to the person against whom the final amount was assessed (if different from the owner of the property) a notice of the amounts due and a warning that lien proceedings will be initiated against the property if the amounts are not paid within 30 days after mailing of the notice.
(b) Liens shall be created and assessed in accordance with Article XX of Chapter 10 of the San Francisco Administrative Code (commencing with Section 10.230).
