Any fines imposed pursuant to this article which remain unpaid shall be placed by the City as specified in the municipal lien docket as a lien against the property on which the violation occurred, and the City Solicitor shall be directed to enforce the lien or to collect the charges imposed by the City by any other means he may deem desirable and most advantageous.
