In any case where the Construction Official shall determine that it is necessary and expedient, for the preservation of public health, safety, general welfare or to eliminate a fire hazard, to require the removal from any lands in the Village or the destruction of brush, grass, weeds, including ragweed, dead and dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash or debris, the owner or tenant of such lands shall, within 10 days after notice to do so, remove from such lands or destroy all brush, grass, weeds, dead and dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash and debris thereon.

A. 
In the event that the owner or tenant shall have refused or neglected to comply with the notice as provided in the preceding section within 10 days, the Construction Official will issue a summons to the owner and inform the Building Department of the name and address of the owner and/or tenants. In such event, the Building Department shall, pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.13 and 40:48-2.14, procure removal services from a rotating list of contractors, to be solicited annually, to remove or have removed from such lands or destroyed the brush, weeds, including ragweed, dead and dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash or debris that may be thereon. A copy of the bill shall be provided to the owner and/or tenants of the property. The Construction Official shall certify the cost thereof to the Board of Commissioners, which shall examine the certificate and, if found correct, shall cause the cost as shown thereon to be charged against the lands. The amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien on such land and shall be added to and become part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied against such lands, the same to bear interest at the same rate as taxes, and shall be collected and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
B. 
In no event shall the assessment of costs against the owner or tenant of such lands relieve such owner or tenant of any other penalties imposed for failure to obey the notice provided for in this and the preceding section.
