The owner or tenant in possession of any lands abutting or bordering
upon the sidewalks and gutters of any public streets of the Township
shall remove or cause to be removed from the abutting sidewalks:
A. All snow and ice therefrom within 12 hours of daylight after the same shall fall or be formed thereon except as otherwise provided in §
367-23.
B. All grass, weeds and other impediments therefrom within three days
after notice to remove the same is given or caused to be given by
the Police Department, which notice may be served upon the owner or
tenant by personal service or by registered or certified mail addressed
to his last known address.
In cases where the owner or tenant shall have failed or refused to remove said snow, ice, grass, weeds or other impediments within the time provided in §§
367-22 and
367-23, the Township Engineer shall remove or cause the same to be removed upon request of the Police Department. The Township Engineer shall certify the cost thereof to the Township Committee. Upon receipt of the certificate, the Township Committee shall examine the same and, if found correct, shall cause such cost to be charged against the lands abutting as aforesaid. The amount so charged shall thereupon become a lien and tax upon such lands and shall be added to and become part of the taxes next to be levied and assessed upon such lands. Said amount shall bear interest at the same rate and shall be collected and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
