[Added 7-14-2015 by Ord. No. 2344]
In the event that the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Officer of this Borough determines that there exists upon any property in this Borough any violation of the requirements of this chapter which has not been abated after reasonable notice has been given to the owner of that property demanding abatement thereof, in addition to any other lawful remedy, may certify to the governing body that such a violation exists and seek that the Borough cause the abatement of such violations and charge the cost of the same to the property.
Based upon such certification of the Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Officer, the governing body, if it finds that the violation is detrimental to the public health and general welfare, may adopt a resolution: a) authorizing the abatement of the violations by or on behalf of the Borough; b) charging the costs reasonably incurred in such abatement as a municipal lien on that property pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.14 and 40:48-2.27; and c) authorizing Collector of Taxes to charge all of those costs in addition to the real property taxes assessed upon the said property and to collect the same, together with interest and penalties at the same rates, in the normal course of tax collection.
