No person shall place, dispose of, throw or deposit any litter, refuse or waste materials upon or into any street, alley or other property, public or private, except as specifically permitted in this chapter. It shall be the duty of all waste generators, every occupant of property, and owners of unoccupied property, at all times, to maintain the premises occupied or owned by him in a clean and orderly condition, permitting no deposit or accumulation of waste upon such premises, unless stored or accumulated as permitted by this chapter. If, after proper notice, a property owner fails to comply by correcting a violation of this chapter, the property owner shall be guilty of a violation of this Code, at which time the city will abate the problem. All expenses incurred will be charged as a lien against the property and, if not paid, will be added to the tax roll for collection. Violation of this section shall constitute a municipal civil infraction.
