[Adopted 2-21-1990 by I.L. No. 1-1990]
No brush, tall grass, rubbish or weeds which constitute a fire or health
hazard to the residents of the Village of Tuxedo Park or to adjoining properties
shall be permitted to grow, accumulate or spread on any real property in the
Village.
In the event that the Village Board determines that there exists such
brush, grass, rubbish or weeds which constitute a fire or health hazard as
described above, the Village Board shall direct the Building Inspector to
give written notice to the owner of such real property to spray, remove, cut
or trim the same as may be necessary to remove such hazard. Such notice shall
be given in writing by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the owner
of such property and to the owner's last known address as appears on
the latest assessment roll of the Village of Tuxedo Park. Such notice shall
direct that such hazard shall be removed within 30 days of the mailing of
such notice.
In the event that the owner of such real property fails to comply with
said notice and remove the hazard, the Village Board may authorize the Public
Works Department or such other person, department or independent contractor
as it shall deem appropriate to remove, cut or trim such brush, grass, rubbish
or weeds causing the hazard or to spray the same, charging the total cost
thereof to the owner of such real property, which cost shall be assessed and
constitute a lien and charge on the real property on which it is levied until
paid or otherwise satisfied or discharged, and the same shall be collected
in the same manner and at the same time as other Village charges.
The provisions of this article shall not apply within the property lines
of any lands or highway easements owned by another municipal corporation or
political subdivision of the State of New York.
