(A) It is hereby declared the duty of any person determined to have created, caused, erected, maintained or permitted a nuisance to exist within the village to discontinue and abate such nuisance within 48 hours or such other time period as may be specified therein, from the time he or she receives written notice thereof.
(B) It shall be unlawful and a violation of this subchapter for any person to neglect, refuse or otherwise fail to remove or abate any nuisance after expiration of the 48-hour or other specified time period provided by notice thereof; and each 24 hours, or fraction thereof, during which such nuisance continues or exists shall be deemed a separate offense.
(C) Whenever any nuisance is not abated by the owner, lessee or person in control of premises or property affected within the time provided by notice, the Village Board may cause the abatement or removal of such nuisance.
(D) The abatement expenses incurred by the village to remove the nuisance are debts owed jointly and severally by the occupant and owner of the premises that is in violation. The debt may be collected by any means allowed by law. If a lien relating to that debt is recorded, the lien shall be superior to all other liens and encumbrances to the extent permitted by state law.
