(A) The town may abate the nuisance in addition to the issuance of a citation pursuant to § 92.08 if, after providing the notice pursuant to § 92.07, the owner fails to abate the nuisance and either: (i) no appeal has been made pursuant to § 92.11; or (ii) an appeal has been made pursuant to § 92.11, was considered by the Council, and the Council has so directed.
(B) Emergency exception. The town, in its sole discretion, may act to abate that nuisance which creates a safety or health hazard requiring immediate abatement in order to protect public safety or health pursuant to § 92.07(D).
(C) Continuous abatement order for weeds and rank vegetation violations. If the initial notice required under § 92.07(B) was provided by certified mail, return receipt requested, or an equivalent service permitted under I.C. § 1-1-7-1 to: (i) the owner of record of real property with a single owner; or (ii) at least one of the owners of real property with multiple owners; at the last address of the owner for the property as indicated in the records of the County Auditor on the date of the notice, then a continuous abatement notice may be posted at the property at the time of abatement, which will serve as notice to the owner that each subsequent violation during the same calendar year for which the initial notice of violation was provided may be abated by the town without any additional notice to the owner, at the owner's expense, as provided in § 92.10.
