In case the person responsible for the condition of premises on which mosquitoes breed, or are likely to breed, fails or refuses to take necessary measures to prevent their breeding within three days after notice in writing has been given to him by the health officer, or within a longer time as may be specified in the notice, the person responsible shall be deemed guilty of a violation of this chapter. Each day after the expiration of three days from the day on which notice is given him or for each day after the expiration of the time specified in the notice, as the case may be, that the person responsible fails or refuses to take any measures, the person responsible shall be deemed guilty of a separate violation of this chapter. In case of failure or refusal of the person responsible, the health officer is authorized to take necessary measures to prevent the breeding of mosquitoes, and all necessary costs incurred by the health officer for that purpose shall be charged against the person responsible.
