[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Munsey
Park 8-10-1988 by L.L. No. 3-1988 (Sec.
G120 of the 1971 Code). Amendments noted where applicable.]
This chapter is enacted to protect the Village from nuisances on property
which may be detrimental to the health, safety and general welfare of the
public.
A.
The owners and occupants of all lots, plots and properties
within the Village shall keep grass, brush and all other growth on such lots,
plots and properties, except trees, shrubs, cultivated gardens and pachysandra,
ivy and similar ground coverings, cut and trimmed to a height which is no
greater than six inches on every part of such lots, plots and properties;
and
B.
Such lots, plots and properties shall be kept free from
accumulations of trash, garbage, refuse and debris of all kinds.
If any such owner or occupant shall fail to comply with the provisions
of this chapter, the Village, after giving such owner or occupant 10 days'
written notice by certified mail to such owner or occupant's last known
address in the Village, may cause such grass, brush, growth, trash, garbage,
refuse or debris, and all other similar materials to be cut, trimmed or removed,
with the total cost thereof to be assessed upon the real property upon which
such grass, brush, growth, trash, garbage, refuse and debris are found, and
such assessment shall constitute a lien and charge on the real property against
which it is levied until paid or otherwise satisfied and discharged, and such
assessment shall be collected by the Village Treasurer in the manner provided
by the law for collection of delinquent taxes.
