Notice and due process in code enforcement

I was sent a bill for a code violation. Notice was posted on a vacant rental home. When I called to raise the issue of proper notice I was told that the city is not even required to post the notice due to the following provision within their city code. In the case of grass and noxious weeds, notice shall be given by advertising one day in a newspaper of general circulation in the county during the month of March that weeds not cut by May 1 of that year may be cut by the city and the owner of the property charged with the cost under the provisions of section 18-283. The city official claims that this absolves the city from giving any notice concerning violations in reference to the issue of lawn cutting. I wish to challenge this as I believe that it completely fails to provide due process and appropriate notice. 1. Am I correct in my assertion. 2. How do I bring this before the appropriate court?

What are your thoughts on Nike vs. Drip Creationz?

Recently, Nike opened a lawsuit on Drip Creationz LLC, for counterfeit and unauthorized goods claims. Here's a couple articles on the entire situation: 1) https://www.complex.com/sneakers/nike-lawsuit-drip-creationz-custom-sneakers 2) https://www.thefashionlaw.com/in-new-suit-nike-says-it-cannot-allow-customizers-to-build-businesses-off-of-its-famous-trademarks/ Here's the full lawsuit: https://www.thefashionlaw.com/nike-inc-v-customs-by-ilene-inc-complaint/ My initial thoughts, Nike is only going after Drip as they literally made a 1 of 1 replica of Nike's 'Air Force 1 Lows' called the Drip 'D1' so Drip can increase their profits. Because sneaker customizing isn't a new thing. Why wouldn't Nike go after The Shoe Surgeon (https://www.instagram.com/theshoesurgeon/?hl=en) who actually changes the material of the shoes? And why wouldn't Nike go after companies like Etsy and eBay for listing and marketing, to use Nike's words, 'unauthorized designs'? First sale doctrine?
