[HISTORY: Adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Great
Neck Estates 6-16-1942 by Ord. No. 30 (Ch. 87 of the 1981 Code). Amendments
noted where applicable.]
In case any resident of the Village of Great Neck Estates shall file
a complaint, in writing, with the Village Clerk, alleging that there exists
on the property of another, or through the act or neglect of another, conditions
which constitute a public nuisance or which endanger or tend to endanger the
property, safety or health of any inhabitant of the Village or the peace and
good order of the Village or the public health of the Village, the Village
Clerk shall cause such complaint to be investigated and shall submit the same
together with a written report of his findings to the Board of Trustees at
its next regular meeting or at a special meeting called for the purpose. The
Board of Trustees may direct that the person or persons owning or occupying
the premises upon which such conditions exist, or the person or persons believed
to be responsible for the alleged conditions, shall appear before the Board
of Trustees at the time and place designated and show cause why such conditions
should not be abated or corrected. Such notice may be served either personally
or by registered mail or in the same manner as a precept in summary dispossess
proceedings. At the time and place designated, the Board of Trustees shall
meet and hear the persons interested and may make such investigations and
inquiries as the Board may determine. Thereupon, the Board of Trustees may,
by resolution, make such orders and directions as may seem necessary or proper
under the circumstances. The failure of the person or persons to whom such
notice has been sent to appear shall be deemed an admission of the truth of
the allegations and a consent to such action by the Board of Trustees. The
failure of any person to comply with the provisions of such orders and directions
shall constitute a violation of this chapter.[1]
