[Adopted 4-6-2011 by Ord. No. 4-2011]
It shall be unlawful within the City limits of the City of Nanticoke
to place, use or keep interior-type furniture which would be adversely
affected by weather elements and/or susceptible to infestation by
insects, rats or other vermin in an area outside a structure. Such
prohibited furniture shall include, but shall not be limited to, upholstered
couches and chairs, or other fabric-covered articles not designed
or intended for exterior use.
When the Building Code Official or an official agent of the
City of Nanticoke determines that prohibited or abandoned furniture
is located in an exterior property area, the said officer or agent
shall cause the owner or other responsible person to be notified by
certified mail or other verifiable delivery, such as by a constable
or police officer, and the owner and/or other responsible person shall
be granted five days to remove the said furniture. In the event the
owner and/or other responsible party fails to remove the said furniture
within five days of receipt of this notice, as confirmed by affidavit
of service or proof of certified delivery, the owner and/or other
responsible person shall have violated this article. Each day that
the furniture is not removed shall be deemed a separate violation
hereunder.
Any person violating this article shall be guilty of a summery
offense and shall pay a fine in an amount not to exceed $300.
