[HISTORY: Adopted by the Borough Council of the Borough of Carteret
12-15-1970 as Sec. 6-1 of the 1970 Revised Ordinances, as amended through
3-5-1974. Section 89-4 added at time of adoption of Code; see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I. Other amendments noted where applicable.]
It shall be the duty of any owner or tenant or person in possession
of any lands in the borough:
A.
To keep such lands free of brush, weeds, dead and dying
trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash and debris
where the same are inimical to the preservation of public health, safety or
general welfare of the borough or which may constitute a fire hazard.
B.
Where the lands abut or border upon any public street
in the borough, to remove all grass, weeds, brush and other debris from that
part of the street bordering on their respective lands.
The Building Inspector and the Health Officer or their agents are empowered to notify any owner or tenant of lands within the borough to remove any and all of the items enumerated in § 89-1. Notice shall be given to the owner or tenant by registered mail, return receipt requested, at the owner's or tenant's last known address.
In the event that the owner, tenant or person in possession of the lands
in question shall refuse or neglect to abate or remedy the condition which
is in violation of this chapter within ten (10) days after receipt of notice,
the Building Inspector and the Health Officer, or their agents, shall cause
the same to be abated and remedied and certify the cost thereof to the Council,
who shall examine the certificate and, if found correct, cause the cost as
shown thereon to be charged against the lands. The amount so charged shall
forthwith become a lien upon such lands and shall be added to and become and
form a part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lands, the
same to bear interest at the same rate as taxes, which shall be collected
and enforced by the same officer and in the same manner as taxes. Costs shall
be in addition to any penalties imposed for a violation of this chapter.
[Added 4-19-1990 by Ord.
No. 90-16]
Any person who violates any provision of this chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to the penalties set forth in § 1-17 of this Code.
