1. The supervisors of any officer or employee of the township designated thereby for this purpose is hereby authorized to give notice, be personal service or by United States mail, to the owner or occupant, as the case may be, of any premises whereon grass, weeds or other vegetation is growing or remaining in violation of the provisions of § 10-302, directing and requiring such occupant to remove, trim or cut such grass, weeds or vegetation so as to conform to the requirements of this Part within seven days after the issuance of such notice. Whenever, in the judgment of the Enforcement Officer, it shall appear to be impracticable to give notice as above provided, either because the owner or occupant cannot readily be found or because a search for the owner or occupant would entail unreasonable delay, the supervisors or any officer or employee of the township designated thereby for that purpose may give notice by posting conspicuously on the property where such nuisance exists a notice or order directing and requiring that such nuisance be abated within seven days.
2. In case any person, firm or corporation shall neglect, fail or refuse to comply with such notice within the period of time stated therein, the Supervisors may order the removal, trimming or cutting of such grass, weeds or vegetation, and the costs thereof, together with a penalty of 10% of the cost hereof, shall be collected by the township from such person, firm or corporation in the manner provided by law.
