The city attorney may take such other steps and may apply to such court as may have jurisdiction to grant such relief as will abate and remove such building or structure, and restrain and enjoin any person, firm, or corporation from setting up, erecting, building, maintaining, or using any building, structure, or property contrary to the provisions of this title.
