In the event that the owner or occupant shall refuse or neglect
to abate such health hazard or nuisance within a period of 30 days
from the date of a notice of violation, the Code Inspector may cause
such weeds, vines, tall grasses, poison ivy, poison sumac, poison
oak or other objectionable vegetation to be cut, eradicated and removed,
keeping an account of the expenses of inspecting the premises, service
of notice and abating the health hazard and nuisance; and all such
costs and expenses shall be charged to and paid by such owner or occupant.
All costs and expenses incurred by the Borough in the abatement
of such health hazards and nuisances shall be a lien upon the premises,
and whenever a bill therefor remains unpaid for a period of 60 days
after it has been rendered, the Borough Solicitor shall file a municipal
claim or an action of assumpsit for such costs and expenses, together
with a penalty of 10%, in the manner provided by law for the collection
of municipal claims.
Any person, firm or corporation failing to abate such health hazard or nuisance in accordance with the requirements of any notice given as provided in §
235-2 above shall, in addition to the payment of said costs and expenses, be subject to a fine or penalty not exceeding $600 for each and every offense; and whenever such person shall have been notified by the Code Inspector by service of such notice or summons in a prosecution or in any other way that he is committing such violation of this chapter, each day that he shall continue such violation after the expiration of the aforesaid 10 days shall constitute a separate offense punishable by a like fine or penalty. Such fines or penalties shall be collected as like fines or penalties are now by law collected.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions
of this chapter are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict.
The Borough reserves the right at any time by ordinance to amend or
otherwise modify or repeal this chapter.
