with any article whatever, without the consent of the Borough Engineer,
and such permission shall limit the time and space to be so occupied.
All owners and occupants of property shall keep the gutters,
where the road surface meets the curb, in front of and adjoining the

a Constable shall be considered a violation of this chapter.
A.
In case the property owner shall neglect or refuse to eliminate the cause of the violation of § 167-2 above within 48 hours after notice to remove the same, the Borough of Rocky Hill may cause removal of the same.
B.
In all cases where said violation is remediated by the Borough of
Rocky Hill under and by virtue of the provisions of this chapter,
the Clerk of the Borough of Rocky Hill shall certify the cost thereof
to the Borough of Rocky Hill Council which shall thereupon examine
the certificate and, if found correct, shall cause the cost as shown
therein to be charged against the property.
C.
The amount so charged shall become a lien upon such land and shall
be added to and become and form part of the taxes next to be assessed
and levied upon such lands, the same to 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.
