A. 
This chapter may be enforced by the Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer and/or any police officer of the Village of Woodbury.
B. 
Notice to cut or remove; Village to do work; lien. If there is a violation of the provisions of the foregoing sections relative to the maintenance of lawns and/or landscaping, the Code Enforcement Officer shall serve written notice, either personally or by mail, upon the owner, lessee, occupant aged 18 years or older (occupant) or any person having the care or control of any such lot of land to comply with the provisions of this chapter. Any such notice on the owner, lessee, occupant or person having care or control shall be constructive notice on all such persons. If the person upon whom the notice is served fails, neglects or refuses to cut, or cause to be cut, such weeds, grass, or vegetation, or remove, or cause to be removed, rubbish, within five days after receipt of such notice, or if no person can be found in the Village of Woodbury who either is or claims to be the owner of such lot or land or who either represents or claims to represent such owner, the Code Enforcement Officer shall cause such weeds, grass, or vegetation to be cut and/or rubbish on such land to be removed. If the Code Enforcement Officer so cuts or causes to be cut, or removes or causes such removal, the actual cost of such cutting or removal, plus $50 or 10% of the actual cost thereof, whichever is greater, for inspection and other additional administrative or other costs in connection therewith, shall be added to and become and form part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lot or land and shall bear interest at the same rate as taxes and shall be collected and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
C. 
Notice of violation and order to remedy for violations other than the maintenance of lawns and/or landscaping.
(1) 
Any enforcement official above noted in Subsection A shall have the authority to issue a notice of violation and order to remedy directing an owner or occupant or other person having control, directly or indirectly, of any property to bring such property into compliance with the provisions of this chapter within a period of time deemed adequate under the circumstances then known by the enforcement official and set forth in the notice of violation and order to remedy. Such notice and order may be served personally or mailed to an owner's last known address as shown on the real property tax records of the Village or other record and posted on the property.
(2) 
Appearance before the Village Board of Trustees. The notice of violation and order to remedy may specify a date and time of a hearing to be held before the Village Board of Trustees. If the hearing date and time are not specified in the notice of violation and order to remedy, then a subsequent notice may specify the date and time of a hearing to be held before the Village Board of Trustees. Except in the event of an emergency, the date of the hearing before the Village Board of Trustees specified on the notice of violation and order to remedy shall be at least five days after the date of issuance of the notice of violation and order to remedy.
(3) 
At the hearing held before the Village Board of Trustees, the property owner and/or any owner, as defined in § 240-5, and/or an attorney or other representative of such owner shall have the opportunity to contest the enforcement official's notice of violation and order to remedy. After the hearing is closed, the Village Board of Trustees shall adopt an order to affirm, modify or rescind the enforcement official's order to remedy.
D. 
Appearance ticket. If the violation is not remedied within the time set forth in the notice of violation and order to remedy, as may be modified by the Village Board of Trustees upon the hearing as above referenced, the enforcement official may issue an appearance ticket requiring the person, owner, lessee, property manager, tenant, occupant or other person having charge of any property to appear in Justice Court for a determination by the Justice Court of claimed violations and to impose penalties as set forth in § 240-10 below.
E. 
Compliance with this chapter is required in the interest of the public safety, health and welfare. In addition to or in lieu of the remedy noted in Subsection D, if the owner(s) served with a notice of violation and order to remedy fails to comply with the order to remedy, as affirmed or modified by the Village Board of Trustees pursuant to Subsection C(3), the Village, through its officers, employees, contractors or agents, may enter upon the property and correct and remedy the violation. All costs incurred by the Village, including the cost of correction and remedy and the cost of the proceeding, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, plus any surcharge amount as established in Subsection G, shall be billed to the property owner. The Village shall bill the property owner for said costs by mailing the bill to the owner's last known address as shown on the real property tax records of the Village. If the property owner does not pay said costs within 30 days after the mailing date of the bill, then the amount of said costs, together with interest charged at the rate of 9% per annum, shall become a lien on the property and shall be assessed against such property, and shall be levied and collected in the same manner as a real property tax. The provisions of this subsection are in addition to, not in lieu of, the penalties set forth in § 240-10.
F. 
In addition to or in lieu of establishing a property lien to enforce unpaid costs and expenses as elsewhere provided herein, the Village may recover such costs and expenses by bringing an action against the owner(s) of the property. The institution of such action shall be in any court of appropriate jurisdiction and shall not suspend or bar the right to pursue any other remedy provided by law for the recovery of such costs and expenses.
G. 
Remedies available. Enforcement of an order to remedy by order of the Village Board of Trustees and enforcement of the order to remedy by the Justice Court are cumulative remedies and are not alternative remedies. The enforcement official and the Village may pursue either or both of the remedies, provided that no duplicative costs and expenses shall be recovered. In addition, nothing contained herein shall be construed to restrict the authority of any enforcement officer or the Village to compel compliance with this chapter or abate a public nuisance by any other lawful process or provision of law.
H. 
Emergency measures. To the greatest extent permitted by law, if the Code Enforcement Officer determines that a violation of this chapter causes or may cause imminent danger to occupants of a building, neighboring person(s) or property(ies) or the public, then the Village has authority to and may immediately enter upon the property and take any emergency measures necessary to safeguard the occupants, persons or properties without providing prior notice to an owner. The Village shall provide such written notice and an opportunity for hearing before the Village Board of Trustees as soon as practicable. The owner shall be subject to the payment of all costs incurred by the Village and to all other requirements and provisions of this chapter.
A. 
In addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, any person who violates any provision of this chapter or who violates or fails to comply with any lawful order promulgated hereunder shall be guilty of a violation and, for a first conviction thereof, shall be subject to a fine in an amount not less than $300 nor more than $500 per day of violation or a maximum of 15 days' imprisonment, or both; for conviction of a second violation committed within 12 months of the first violation, such person shall be subject to a fine in an amount not less than $400 and not more than $800 per day of violation or a maximum of 15 days' imprisonment, or both; for conviction of a third violation committed within 12 months of the first violation, such person shall be subject to a fine in an amount not less than $600 and not more than $1,500 per day of violation or a maximum of 15 days' imprisonment, or both; for conviction of a fourth violation and for each subsequent violation committed within 12 months of any prior violation, such person shall be subject to a fine in an amount not less than $1,000 and not more than $2,500 per day of violation or a maximum of 15 days' imprisonment, or both.
B. 
Civil penalties and injunction. In addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies, the Village Board of Trustees may also maintain an action or proceeding in the name of the Village in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain civil monetary penalties and compel compliance with or to restrain, by injunction, the violation of this chapter or any order promulgated hereunder. The civil monetary penalties shall be in accordance with and not exceed the monetary penalties set forth in Subsection A of this section.
C. 
Each calendar day a violation occurs or continues shall constitute and be deemed a separate and distinct violation.
The Code Enforcement Officer shall initiate inspections and investigations and shall receive information and complaints concerning compliance with this chapter.
