[Adopted 1-7-1969 as Ord. No. 4.4 of the Unified Code]
No owner of any land within the Village shall permit noxious
weeds, long grass or other rank growths on real property owned by
him.
For failure, upon notice by the Village Clerk of not less than
10 days, to remove any such noxious growths, the Village may cause
the same to be removed and assess the expense thereof upon the land
where the same is found. Such assessment, if unpaid, shall become
a lien upon the property, subject to collection as a tax thereupon.
The notice to remove any such noxious growths shall be delivered personally
or by mailing a copy of the same, addressed to such owner, to his
last known address as the same may appear upon the last Village assessment
roll.
[Added 10-3-2000 by L.L. No. 3-2000]
Any person violating any provision of this article shall be
liable for a fine not to exceed $250 for each offense or by imprisonment
not exceeding 15 days, or both.
