[Adopted 9-25-1989 by L.L. No. 23-1989]
Upon any written and signed report to the Board of Trustees informing the Board that any person is in violation of the provisions of any such law or ordinance, the Village Clerk shall cause an investigation to be made, and the results of such investigation shall be reported to the Board of Trustees, in writing.
A. 
Where such investigation report demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board of Trustees that an immediate hazard to public health or safety exists because of an apparent violation of any law or ordinance of the village, the Board of Trustees may direct that the owner and/or person in control of the property where the violation is alleged to have taken place, or the person or persons who are alleged to have committed said violation, appear before the Board of Trustees, at a designated time and place, at least five days after the date of such notice, to show cause why it should not be determined that a violation of this law exists and why such owner and/or person should not be required to remove such violation at the expense of such owner and/or person.
B. 
After such owner and/or person is given such opportunity to show cause, and if the Board of Trustees determines that a violation of this law exists, the Board of Trustees may direct that notice be given to such owner and/or person, directing such owner and/or person to remove said violation within a reasonable period of time specified in such notice, and further notifying such owner and/or person that in the event of noncompliance with such direction, the provisions of this Article shall be applicable.
C. 
Service of any notification provided in this section may be made upon such owner, an agent of such owner and/or such person by personal delivery or by certified mail, return receipt requested, addressed to such person at the last known address for such person, and if no such address is known, at the address of the property.
Any person served with a notice to remove or cure a violation pursuant to this Article shall comply with such notice within the period of time specified in such notice.
In the event that any person fails to comply with the requirements of any notice given as provided in this Article, the Board of Trustees may authorize appropriate work to be performed, or services to be rendered, to remove or cure the specified violations, and pay the cost thereof from general funds of the village appropriated by the Board of Trustees for such service.
The village shall be reimbursed for the cost of the work performed or the services rendered, as herein provided, including the cost of any professional services (other than legal services) required by the village for compliance with the provisions of this Article and any other expenses incurred by the village for compliance with the provisions of this Article, and such reimbursement shall be made by the owner of the property upon which such work was performed or services provided, and in the event that such reimbursement is not made within 30 days after demand, the amount so unpaid shall be included as an additional assessment against the property in the same manner as taxes due to the village, in the manner provided by law.
The provisions of this Article shall be in addition to any other penalty or fine prescribed for any violation of a law or ordinance of the village.
