[Adopted as Sec. 11.13 of the former Municipal Codebook]
Whenever the Council shall find that conditions on any premises
within the City create a fire or health hazard or shall find that,
by virtue of any accumulation of unsightly materials, junk or debris
of any nature on any premises or for any other reason, any premises
are detrimental to the appearance, neatness or cleanliness of a neighborhood
so as to tend to depreciate property values therein or create a nuisance
or offend the aesthetic character of the immediate neighborhood or
produce blight or deterioration by reason of such conditions, the
Common Council may order the owner of said premises to correct any
such condition or to remove therefrom any such unsafe, hazardous or
unsightly articles, material or debris.
A.
The order shall specify a time not to exceed 30 days within which
the owner and/or occupant shall comply therewith.
B.
The order shall be served on the owner and/or occupant of the premises
in the manner provided for service of a summons in the Circuit Court
and, if the said owner and/or occupant is not found, by certified
mail with return receipt requested and posting of notice on a conspicuous
part of the premises.
