[Ord. 2398, passed 10-1-2003]
The Municipality, or any officer or employee of Penn Hills designated thereby for this purpose, is hereby authorized to give written notice, by personal service or by United States mail, to the owner or occupant, as the case may be, who, in the judgment of said officer or employee of the Municipality who reasonably believes said owner or occupant is or remains in violation of the provisions of this chapter. Said notice shall direct and require such owner or occupant to remove or eliminate the obstruction or interference with the Municipality's right to use its easement and/or right-of-way, so as to conform to the requirements of this chapter, within 30 days after issuance of such notice. Whenever in the judgment of the Municipality or any officer or employee thereof, 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 Municipality or any officer or employee of the Municipality designated thereby for such purpose, may give notice by posting conspicuously on the property where such obstruction exists, a notice or order directing and requiring that such obstruction or interference be removed or eliminated within 30 days. In case any person shall neglect, fail or refuse to comply with such notice within the period of time stated therein, the person shall be in violation of this chapter, the Municipality may order the removal and elimination of such obstruction and interference and the cost thereof, together with a penalty of 10% of the cost thereof, which shall be collected by the Municipality from such person in any manner provided by law.
