(A) Whenever any person whose duty it is to keep any tree, hedge or shrub trimmed or cut as provided in sections 7-7-9 through 7-7-11 of this chapter, shall fail to do so, the city shall cause to be served upon such person notice requiring the same to be done forthwith; and if such person shall fail to cause such trees, etc., to be trimmed within ten (10) days after the service of such notice, he shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine as provided in this chapter for each such offense; and each day following the tenth day after service of such notice during which such person shall fail to trim said trees, etc., shall be deemed to be a separate offense.
(B) Such notice may be served by delivering the same, or a copy thereof, to such owner or occupant, or by leaving the same at his usual place of business or abode; and in case such owner is a nonresident of the city, by mailing notice to his last known address and by posting a copy of the same in a conspicuous place upon the lot on or in front of which such trees may be located.
