The Borough Council, or any officer, employee, or agent of the Borough designated thereby for this purpose, is hereby authorized to give notice, by personal service or by United States mail, to the owner or occupant, as the case may be, of any premises whereon grass, weeds or other vegetation is growing or remaining in violation of the provisions of §10-401, directing and requiring such owner or occupant to remove, trim or cut such grass, weeds or vegetation so as to conform to the requirements of this Part, within 10 days after issuance of such notice. The Borough Council, or any officer, employee, or agent of the Borough designated thereby for this purpose, shall provide only 1 such notice to the owner or occupant in any growing season for the purpose of satisfying the notice requirement under this Section. In any growing season, at any time after the notice pursuant to this Section is given, the penalty authorized by this Part may be imposed against the owner or occupant each time any grass, weeds, or other vegetation is growing or remaining on the premises in violation of this Part. Whenever, in the judgment of the Enforcement Officer or agent it shall appear to be impracticable to give notice as above provided, either because the owner or occupant cannot readily be found or because a search for the owner or occupant would entail unreasonable delay, the Borough Council or any officer, employee, or agent of the Borough designated thereby for that purpose may give notice by posting conspicuously on the property where such nuisance exists, a notice or order directing and requiring that such nuisance be abated within 10 days. In case any person, firm or corporation shall neglect, fail or refuse to comply with such notice within the period of time stated therein, the Borough Council may order the removal, trimming or cutting of such grass, weeds or vegetation, and the cost thereof, together with a penalty of 10% of the cost thereof shall be collected by the Borough from such person, film or corporation, in the manner provided by law.
