Section 302.4 is hereby further amended to include the following
additional subsection known as 302.4.2:
The Building Code Official, or any officer or employee of the
Borough designated thereby for this purpose, is hereby authorized
to give notice, by personal service or United States mail, to the
owner or occupant or any adult person in charge of said premises,
as the case may be, of any property wherein grass or other vegetation
is in violation of Section 302.4 or Section 302.4.1, directing and
requiring such occupant or owner to remove, trim or cut such grass,
weeds or vegetation so as to conform to the requirements of this Part,
within five days after issuance of such notice.
Whenever, in the judgment of the Building Code Official, it
shall appear to be impracticable to give notice as above provided,
either because the owner or occupant cannot readily be found, or because
a search for the owner or occupant would entail unreasonable delay,
the Borough or any officer or employee of the Borough designated thereby
for that purpose may give notice by posting conspicuously on the property
where such nuisance exists, a notice or order directing and requiring
that such nuisance be abated within five days.
In case any person, firm, or corporation shall neglect, fail,
or refuse to comply with such notice within the period of time stated
therein, the Borough may order the removal, trimming, or cutting of
such grass, weeds, or vegetation, and the cost thereof, together with
a penalty of 10% of the cost thereof, shall be collected by the Borough
from such person, firm, or corporation, in the manner provided by
law and may be entered as a municipal lien against the property and
owner thereof, for the abatement of nuisance.
