No person shall have or permit on any premises owned or occupied
by him any open cisterns, cesspools, wells, unused basements, excavations
or other dangerous openings. All such places shall be filled, securely
covered or fenced in such manner as to prevent injury to any person,
and any cover shall be of a design, size and weight that the same
cannot be removed by small children.
No person shall leave or permit to remain outside of any dwelling,
building or other structure, or within any unoccupied or abandoned
building, dwelling or other structure under his control in a place
accessible to children, an abandoned, unattended or discarded ice
box, refrigerator or other container which has an airtight door or
lid, snap lock or other locking device which may not be released from
the inside without first removing said door or lid, snap lock or other
locking device from said ice box, refrigerator or container, unless
such container is displayed for sale on the premises of the owner
or his agent and is securely locked or fastened.
[Amended 9-5-2017]
No person shall store junked or discarded property, including machinery or machinery parts, wood, bricks, cement blocks, or other unsightly debris which substantially depreciates property values in the neighborhood except or upon permit issued by the Village Board. The Chief of Police may require by written order any premises violating this section to be put in compliance within the time specified in such order and, if the order is not complied with, may have the premises put in compliance and the cost thereof assessed as a special tax against the property. The storage of junked vehicles and appliances is subject to the requirements of Chapter
422, Property Maintenance, Article
II, Junked Vehicles and Appliances, of this Code.
No person except the owner of the cemetery lot or a cemetery
employee shall cut, remove, injure or carry away flowers, trees, plants
or vines from any cemetery lot or property; nor shall any person deface, injure or
mark upon any cemetery markers, headstones, monuments, fences, or
structures; nor shall any person other than the owner injure, carry
away or destroy any vases, flower pots, urns or other objects which
have been placed on any cemetery lot.
In addition to the general penalty of this Code or any other penalty imposed for violation of any section of this article, any person who shall cause physical damage to or destroy any public property shall be liable for the cost of replacing or repairing such damaged or destroyed property. The parent or parents of any unemancipated minor child who violates §
410-14 may also be held liable for the cost of replacing or repairing such damaged or destroyed property in accordance with the Wisconsin Statutes. Nothing in this Code shall prevent the Police Department from referring violations of the provisions of this article to the District Attorney's office in the interest of justice.
