Whenever, in the opinion of an officer of the village possessing police powers, the maintenance or continuation of a nuisance creates an imminent threat of serious injury to persons or serious damage to persons or real property, or if the nuisance can be abated summarily without or with only minor damage to the items or premises which are creating the nuisance, and the continuation of the nuisance poses a substantial threat of injury to persons or property or a substantial interference with the quiet enjoyment of life normally present in the community, such officer shall proceed and shall subsequently inform the owner of the property, if known, of the action taken; provided, further, that, whenever the owner, occupant, agent or person in possession, charge or control of the real or personal property which has become a nuisance is unknown or cannot readily be found, the village officer shall reasonably attempt to learn the identity of the owner and provide notice of the action taken. Where the abatement of nuisance requires continuing acts by the corporate authorities beyond the initial summary abatement and any other additional emergency abatements, it shall seek abatement of such nuisance on a permanent basis through judicial process as soon as reasonably possible.
