(A) If the Township Board shall, after a public hearing preceded by not less than ten-days’ notice to the owner and/or occupant, determine that blight exists upon any premises in the township, it may direct the owner and occupant to abate the same by taking actions within a time as the Board may determine to be reasonable under these circumstances.
(B) Upon the failure of the owner or occupant of the premises to abate the blight in accordance with the order of the Board, the Board may take such steps as may be necessary to abate the blight, including entering upon the property to correct the prohibited condition and cause the cost thereof to be assessed against the subject premises as a special assessment on the next tax roll.
(C) For violations under § 93.03(G) above, the Board may adopt a schedule of costs per mowing a property, and further may schedule subsequent cuttings of a property in a calender year without repeating the procedure set forth in divisions (A) and (B) of this section.
(D) Such action by the Township Board shall be in addition and not in derogation of prosecution for violations of this chapter under § 93.99 below.
(E) Notices required hereunder may be given by delivering the same to the owner and/or occupant personally, by certified mail directed to the last known address of the owner and occupant, and, in the event the certified mail notice shall, for any reason, not be received by the addressee, by posting the same in a conspicuous place upon the premises.
