A.
No person or corporation shall permit noxious weeds, long grass or
other rank growths or growths which are harmful, poisonous or detrimental
to health on real property owned by him or it.
B.
Upon due notice, in writing, by the Commissioner of Public Works
of the City of Yonkers given to such owner to cut, trim, remove or
otherwise eliminate such noxious weeds, long grass or other rank growths
or growths which are harmful, poisonous or detrimental to health,
and upon default thereafter being made by such owner within a period
of five days after the mailing of said notice, the Commissioner of
Public Works may cause said noxious weeds, long grass or rank growths
or growths which are harmful, poisonous or detrimental to health to
be cut, trimmed and removed or otherwise eliminated by the Department
of Public Works and assess the expense thereof against the property
whereon the same is found. Such charge, if unpaid, shall become a
lien upon the property, subject to collection as a tax thereon, after
due notice to the owner and a hearing as to the justness of the costs.
A person or corporation upon whom notice has been served, as set forth in § 69-1 hereof, to cut, trim, remove or otherwise eliminate such noxious weeds, long grass or other rank growths or growths which are harmful, poisonous or detrimental to health and who, for a period of five days after the mailing of such notice, shall neglect or fail to comply with the provisions of any such notice shall be deemed to have violated this article.
