The owner of any premises, and the occupant of premises occupied
by other than the owner, shall be jointly and severally responsible
to remove, trim or cut all grass, weeds or other vegetation growing
or remaining upon such premises in violation of the provisions of
the preceding section.
The Borough Manager, or any officer or employee of the Borough designated thereby for this purpose, is hereby authorized to give notice, by personal service or by United States mail, to the owner or occupant, as the case may be, of any premises whereon grass, weeds or other vegetation is growing or remaining in violation of the provisions of §
651-2 hereof, directing and requiring such occupant to remove, trim or cut such grass, weeds or vegetation so as to conform to the requirements of this article, within five days after issuance of such notice. Whenever, in the judgment of the Borough Manager, it shall appear to be impracticable to give notice as above provided, either because the owner or occupant cannot readily be found or because a search for the owner or occupant would entail unreasonable delay, the Borough Manager, or any officer or employee of the Borough designated thereby for that purpose, may give notice by posting conspicuously on the property where such nuisance exists, a notice or order directing and requiring that such nuisance be abated within five days. In case any person, firm or corporation shall neglect, fail or refuse to comply with such notice within the period of time stated therein, the Borough Manager may order the removal, trimming of such grass, weeds or vegetation, and the cost thereof, together with a penalty of 10% of the cost thereof shall be collected by the Borough from such person, firm or corporation, in the manner provided by law.
