Whenever any nuisance, as defined in the preceding
section, shall exist in front of any property, the Building Inspector
or Superintendent of Streets of the Borough shall cause to be served
upon the owner or occupant of such property a notice, in writing,
to remove the nuisance within 30 days after the day of the regular
stated meeting of the Borough Council then next to be held, or to
show cause before the Borough Council, at such meeting, why the same
should not be removed. Said notice shall be served personally upon
the owner or occupant or by leaving the same at his usual place of
abode with a member of his family above the age of 14 years. The Borough
may, in its discretion, revoke such order or it may extend the time
within which the encumbrance, obstruction or encroachment must be
removed.
In case the owner or occupant of the property upon whom a notice has been served as provided in §
21-106 fails, neglects or refuses to remove the encroachment in compliance with said notice and within the time limited, the Borough Manager shall cause the same to be removed. The failure, neglect or refusal of the owner or occupant to comply with the notice shall also constitute a violation of this Part and shall subject him to the penalty provided in §
21-113.
