Any tree on City property on or along any sidewalk or street because of decay, mutilation, or damage, may be declared by the Zoning Inspector to be a public hazard and nuisance. The Inspector is instructed, authorized and empowered to order the owners of the property abutting such sidewalk or street on which the trees are found to remove the same forthwith, including the removal of the stump or the grinding of the stump below ground level as ordered by the Inspector. If any person shall neglect or refuse to comply with the notice within fifteen days of receipt thereof, then it shall be the duty of the Zoning Inspector to cause the removal of such trees.
