[Adopted 12-20-1960 by Ord. No.
3319 as Article II of Chapter 18 of the Revised
Ordinances of the City of Clifton, New Jersey, 1960]
It shall be unlawful for the owner or occupant
of any lands within the limits of the City to permit tent caterpillars
or tent caterpillar nests to exist in the trees, undergrowth or shrubbery
of such premises.
A.
It shall be the duty of the City Engineer to enforce
the provisions of this article.
B.
If a violation of § 433-1 is deemed to exist, the City Engineer shall give or cause to be given written notice to the owner and occupant of said premises to remove and destroy the tent caterpillars or tent caterpillar nests within three days after service of the notice. Such notice may be served in person or by registered or certified mail, and, if by registered or certified mail, service shall be deemed completed three days after being mailed to the last known address of the owner and occupant. If said owner does not reside in the City and when service is by mailing, then, on the same day as mailed, a copy of said notice shall be posted at the premises where the alleged violation is deemed to exist.
If the owner or occupant shall fail to remove the tent caterpillars or tent caterpillar nests within the time required by the notice referred to in § 433-2, then the same shall be removed and destroyed by or under the direction of the City Engineer. The City Engineer shall certify the costs and expenses of such removal and destruction, as nearly as can be ascertained, to the City Council. The Council shall examine the certificate and, if found correct, shall cause the cost as shown thereon to be charged against said lands. The amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien upon such lands and shall be added to and become and form part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied upon such lands. Such lien shall bear interest at the same rate as taxes and shall be collected and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
The imposition and collection of the penalty
imposed by this article shall not bar the right of the City to collect
the cost of removal of such tent caterpillars or nests of tent caterpillars
in the manner authorized in § 433-43, but the remedy shall
be cumulative.
Any person who violates any provision of this
article shall, upon conviction thereof, be punished by a fine not
exceeding $25 for each offense.
