It shall be the duty of every person or persons, firms or corporations,
owners, tenants, occupiers or persons in possession of improved or
unimproved lots or other premises in the Borough of Glen Osborne,
Pennsylvania, upon which thistles, wild carrots, cockles, burdock,
daisy, ragweed, poison ivy or other weeds of similar obnoxious growths

weeds from maturing, going to seed or in any manner otherwise multiplying.
[Amended 7-15-1997 by Ord. No. 341]
Any person or persons, firms or corporations, owners, tenants,
occupiers or persons in possession of any premises or improved or
unimproved lots in the Borough of Glen Osborne, who shall permit or
suffer such obnoxious weeds to grow either in or upon the same shall
be deemed guilty of a nuisance, and if, after five days' notice
from the Borough Council, or any officer designated by said Borough
Council, to remove or destroy said nuisance, shall refuse or neglect
to comply with said notice, shall be deemed guilty of a violation
of this chapter and, upon conviction thereof before any District Justice,
be liable to a fine not exceeding $600, and in default of payment
thereof, shall be committed to the county prison for a period not
exceeding 30 days.
The Borough, by its proper officers, may enter upon said premises
on which said nuisance may stand to abate the same, and the Borough
may then proceed to collect the costs of abating said nuisance from
the owner of said premises in the same manner as debts of like amount
are now collected by law.
