Whenever the enforcement officer determines that there is or has
been a violation of any provision of this chapter, the officer shall
give notice of such violation to the person, persons or entities responsible
therefor under this chapter. Such notice shall be in writing and shall
include a concise statement of the reasons for its issuance. Such
notice shall be deemed to be properly and sufficiently served if a
copy thereof is sent by registered or certified mail to the last known
address of the person or entity upon which the same is served, as
shown by the most recent tax lists of the Township, or if a copy thereof
is handed to the person or persons or a copy thereof is left at the
usual place of abode or office of the persons or entities. Notice
shall be given as aforesaid within or without the Township. The notice
shall also state that unless the violation is abated, removed, cured,
prevented or desisted from within 10 days of the date of service of
such notice (exclusive of the date of service), a summons shall issue
for such violation. The enforcement officer may, at the time the officer
issues the notice, extend the period for correction of the violation
stated in the notice for a period in excess of the aforesaid 10 days
if, in the officer's judgment, the abatement, removal, prevention,
cessation of or cure of the condition violated cannot reasonably be
effected within the ten-day period; and in such cases the enforcement
officer shall state such reasonably required extended period in the
notice, which shall then be applicable instead of the aforesaid 10
days. In the event the violation is not abated, removed, cured, prevented
or desisted from or otherwise fully remedied within the ten-day period
or within such extended period as set forth in the notice pursuant
to the foregoing, a summons shall then issue against the person, persons,
entity or entities so notified.
