The Board of Trustees of the Village of Wesley Hills finds that
the presence of excessively long grass or weeds on improved parcels
of real property is aesthetically offensive and may create the potential
for a public nuisance or a public health hazard. The Board of Trustees
of the Village of Wesley Hills therefore declares it to be the public
policy of the Village to prevent the maintenance of any improved parcel
of real property in the Village in such an unsightly, unclean, and
harmful condition.
No holder shall permit the growth of grass or weeds more than
nine inches high within a lawn on any subject premises.
[Amended 5-14-2002 by L.L. No. 5-2002]
Whenever the Mayor, Deputy Mayor or Code Inspector of the Village of Wesley Hills determines that any subject premises are being maintained in violation of §
154-16 hereinabove, he shall serve a notice to cut, trim, remove, or otherwise eliminate such long grass and weeds. Such notice shall be served personally or by certified mail upon any holder of the subject premises. Such notice shall give such holder 15 days to correct such violation. Such notice shall state that in the event such violation has not been corrected within such time, the Village of Wesley Hills may cause such long grass and weeds to be cut, trimmed, removed, or otherwise eliminated and, if it does so, shall assess the total expense thereof against the property whereon the same is found.
