In the event of an emergency where there is imminent peril to the lives or property of others, the Township may go upon private property without prior notice to repair, remove, correct or abate any such condition and shall in such case assess the cost of such work, plus an additional 10%, against the owner of such property or any other person who created or permitted such condition to exist.
