A. 
Whenever there shall be growing on any property ragweed or other species of weed, plant or growth which is noxious or detrimental to the public health, or the seed, pollen or other emanation whereof, when carried through the air or otherwise dispersed, is noxious or detrimental to the public health, the Commissioner of Public Health may take and file upon his records what he shall regard as sufficient proof to authorize a declaration that the existence of any such growth is a nuisance or is dangerous to the public health, and may thereupon enter the same upon his records as a nuisance and order the same to be removed, destroyed or otherwise abated on any property wherever found.
B. 
The Commissioner of Public Health shall notify, in writing, the owner, lessee, occupant of, or principal person or persons interested in such property of the nuisance created by such weeds, plants or growth, and order them, in writing, to remove, destroy or otherwise abate such nuisance.
The Commissioner of Public Health may also take and file among his records what he shall regard as sufficient proof to authorize a declaration that at any season or period of the year there exists a particular and imminent danger to the public health by reason of the approaching period of pollination of any such growth and may enter such determination upon his records.
If any order issued under this article is not complied with within five days after receipt of the same, or within such shorter time as the Commissioner of Public Health may specify, the Commissioner may enter upon any such property and remove and destroy any weeds, plants and growth noxious or detrimental to the public health.
A. 
In removing and destroying such weeds, plants or growth, the Park Department is authorized and shall act as agent and a means of the Commissioner of Public Health in effecting such removal, destruction or abatement.
B. 
In the event that the Park Department is so employed, it shall certify and transmit to the Commissioner of Public Health its expense in the execution of the order of the Commissioner of Public Health separately in respect of each separately owned parcel of property on which such nuisance was abated.
