The Village Clerk is hereby authorized to give notice of not less
than 10 days to remove any prohibited growths, or of not less than
30 days to remove any prohibited structures, informing the owner of
the real property that, if such prohibited growths or prohibited structures
are not removed within the time period set forth in the notice, the
Board of Trustees may cause the growths and/or structures to be removed
and may assess the expenses of such removal, the administrative searches
to determine the last owner and the address of such owner, and the
cost of the certified mail, upon the real property whereupon the growths
and/or structures were found.
The notice to remove any such noxious growths and/or prohibited structures
shall be delivered personally or by certified mail, return receipt
requested, addressed to such owner at its last known address as the
same appears on the assessment rolls of the Village and, if different
therefrom, the name of the last owner in the deed records of the Nassau
County Clerk, sent both to the address shown at the Nassau County
Clerk's office and to the address of the subject real property.
Each such notice shall inform the owner that, if such notice was
personally delivered, within 10 days from such personal delivery,
or if such notice was only mailed and not personally delivered, within
13 days of the mailing of such notice, the owner may appeal to the
Board of Trustees that the determination was in error and that all
or some of such growths are not noxious and/or that all or some of
such structures are not prohibited.
[Added 3-19-2013 by L.L. No. 4-2013]
If such assessment is not paid within 30 days of demand by the
Village, such assessment shall become a lien upon the real property,
subject to collection in the same manner and with the same costs and
interest as a tax thereon.
