As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the

Any defacement of property by etching, painting, covering,

If the owner upon whom the notice is served fails, neglects,
or refuses to comply with the provisions of the notice within seven
business days of the receipt of a notice to remedy, the Village shall
cause the work required to remedy the violation to be performed and
the cost thereof may be assessed, levied and collected as provided
herein.
Upon completion of the work required to remedy the violation,
the Village shall serve a notice upon the owner of the property affected,
stating that such expenditure has been made, its purpose and amount
and that at a specified time and place the Board of Trustees will
meet to make an assessment of the expenditure upon the real property
so affected. Such notice shall be served either personally or by mailing
a copy thereof by registered mail, return receipt requested, to such
owner at his last known address as the same appears on the assessment
rolls of the Village at least 10 days prior to the scheduled meeting.
The Board of Trustees shall meet at the time and place specified
in the notice and shall hear and determine all objections that shall
be made to such assessment, including the amount thereof, and shall
assess upon the real property affected the amount which it may deem
just and reasonable, not exceeding, in case of default, the amount
stated in the notice.
If the amount assessed is not paid within 15 days after such
assessment, the Board of Trustees may levy the amount expended as
a tax against the real property which is involved.
