[Adopted 12-23-1957 by Ord. No. 452]
Each owner or tenant of land situate within
the limits of the Township of Saddle Brook shall forthwith remove
or cause to be removed from any and all lands owned by him or in his,
their or its control any and all brush, weeds, dead or dying trees,
stumps, roots, noxious growths, filth, garbage, trash or debris where
it shall appear necessary and expedient for the preservation of the
public health, safety and general welfare or to eliminate a fire hazard.
[Amended 3-26-1987 by Ord. No. 945]
If the owner or tenant of any lands upon which
shall be such brush, weeds, dead or dying trees, stumps, roots, noxious
growths, filth, garbage, trash or debris shall fail, refuse or neglect
to remove the same within 10 days after notice to him so to do in
writing by the Superintendent of Public Works of the Township of Saddle
Brook, then said Superintendent of Public Works shall be and is hereby
authorized and directed to remove or cause the same to be removed
from said lands and premises. In such case said Superintendent of
Public Works shall certify the costs of such removal to the Township
Council, who shall examine such certificate and, if it finds the same
correct, shall cause the costs as shown thereon to be charged against
said lands. The amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien upon
said lands and premises and shall be added to, form and become part
of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon said lands and shall
bear interest at the same rate as taxes and shall be collected and
enforced in the same manner as taxes.
The notice as required in § 67-6 shall be in writing and shall be given to the owner. A duplicate of the notice shall be left with one or more of the tenants of the premises or place. If the owner resides out of the state or cannot be notified speedily, such notice shall be left at the place or premises with the tenant thereof or posted on the premises and such action shall be considered proper notification to the owner.
Any person, firm or corporation who shall violate
any term or provision of this article shall, upon conviction thereof,
be subject to a fine not exceeding $200 or to imprisonment in the
county jail or in any place provided by the Township of Saddle Brook
for the detention of prisoners, for a term not exceeding 90 days,
or both, in the discretion of the Judge. Any person so convicted may,
in the discretion of the Judge by whom he was convicted, in default
of the payment of any fine, be imprisoned in the county jail or place
of detention by the Township of Saddle Brook for any term not exceeding
90 days. Each day that a violation of any of the terms or provisions
of this Article shall continue shall constitute a separate offense.
