It shall be the duty of any owner, lessee or

to cut and remove or cause to be cut and removed all such weeds, grass
or other rank, poisonous or harmful vegetation as often as may be
necessary to comply with the provisions of the above section, provided
that cutting and removing such weeds, grass or vegetation at least
once in every three weeks between May 15 and September 15 shall be
deemed to be a compliance with this chapter.
It shall be unlawful for any person, either
as owner, lessee, agent, tenant or otherwise, to throw, cast or deposit,
or cause or permit to run, drop or remain or to be thrown, cast or
deposited, in or upon any vacant lot of land or vacant place upon

whereby a fire hazard, danger or risk may be engendered or injuriously
effected or whereby the premises of another or the enjoyment of the

to cut, remove or cause to be cut and removed such weeds, grass, vegetation
or rubbish within five days after receipt of such notice or if no
person can be found in the Village of Cazenovia who either represents
or claims to represent such owner, the Village Zoning Enforcement
Officer may, following approval of the Board of Trustees, cause such
weeds, grass, vegetation or rubbish on such land to be removed, and
the actual costs in connection therewith shall be certified by the
Village Zoning Enforcement Officer as to the property on which such
weeds, grass, vegetation or rubbish were located and shall be added
to and become and form part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied
upon such lot or land and shall bear interest at the same rate as

in the same manner as taxes.
