[Adopted 2-20-1962 by Ord. No. 1544 (Ch.
83, Art. II, of the 1978 Code)]
The owner or tenant of any lands abutting upon
the public highways of the Township of Nutley shall remove all grass,
weeds and impediments from the portion of any street or highway abutting
on such lands within 10 days after notice to remove the same.
Where it shall be necessary and expedient for
the preservation of public safety, the owner or tenant of lands lying
within the limits of the Township of Nutley shall keep all brush,
hedges and other plant life growing within 10 feet of any roadway
and within 25 feet of the intersection of two roadways, cut to a height
of not more than 2 1/2 feet.
The owner or tenant of said lands shall cut
said brush, hedges and other plant life to a height of not more than
2 1/2 feet within 10 days after notice to cut the same.
If the owner or tenant aforesaid shall fail
to remove said grass, weeds and impediments or to cut said brush,
hedges or other plant life within 10 days after said notice, the Township
of Nutley shall remove said grass, weeds and impediments and cut such
brush, hedges and other plant life under the direction of the Public
Works Superintendent, and the said Superintendent shall certify the
cost thereof to the Board of Commissioners, which shall examine the
certification and, if found correct, shall cause the cost as shown
thereon to be charged against said lands.
The amounts so charged shall forthwith become
a lien upon such lands and shall be added to and become and form part
of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lands, the same
to bear interest at the same rate as other taxes, and shall be collected
and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as other
taxes.
The power and duty to enforce the provisions
of this article are hereby assigned to the Department of Public Works,
and the same shall be exercised under the direction of the Director
of the Department of Public Works.
[Amended 5-15-1979 by Ord. No. 1973]
