If this provision is violated, and such fence is not adequately maintained in such condition or state of repair, the owner thereof shall be obligated to remove the fence at his cost and expense upon notice being given by the persons designated by the city, that such fence is in violation of these restrictive covenants, and must either be removed or placed in compliance therewith.
