(A) The enforcement authority shall inspect the property within the ten days following the date of service of the notice to determine whether the violation has been cured. If the landowner has failed to remove the grass, weeds, or rank vegetation, violations of this chapter shall be addressed as established in IC 36-7-9, as it may be amended from time to time.
(B) In addition, if the landowner upon reinspection has failed to remove the grass, weeds or rank vegetation, the town through its enforcement authority may enter the property and remove the grass, weeds, or rank vegetation. The town may also pursue any other appropriate legal remedies.
(C) If a landowner is found to be in violation of this chapter, the enforcement authority may post notice and order of a continuous abatement at the property at the time of abatement. A continuous abatement notice and order serves as notice to the real property owner that each subsequent violation during the same year for which the initial notice of the violation was provided may be abated by the municipality or county, or its contractors without necessity of further notice.
