(Prior Code, § 7-2-5)
(B) (1) If a request for abatement of a nuisance is not complied with as set forth in division (A) above, the Mayor, or his or her representative, shall file a complaint in the Town Court, and the Town Judge may order the Chief of Police to abate the same, and to certify the cost thereof, to the owner or occupant of the existence of such nuisance, and he or she shall thereupon add the amount so certified to the fine imposed upon such owner or occupant, and enforce the payment of the same in the manner provided for in the collection of fines.
(2) The notice required in division (A) above is not mandatory, and a complaint may be signed without such notice being first given when an immediate abatement of the nuisance is necessary for the protection of the public health and safety.
