In addition to the penalty provided in Section 662.99, if the owner or occupant fails to comply with any notice issued pursuant to Section 662.10, the enforcement official or his or her designee may remove or cause to be removed the conditions resulting in blight as described in a notice issued under Section 662.10 as follows:
(1) General blight. If the owner and/or occupant of the property, building, or dwelling fails, neglects, or refuses to comply with the notice to abate, the enforcement official or his or her designee shall take all necessary action to enforce the notice, including seeking an order from a court, authorizing the Village to retain all necessary labor and materials to perform any removal, demolition, abatement, repairs, maintenance or other required work as expeditiously as possible. Actual costs for such abatement shall be assessed the property owner as set forth in this chapter.
(2) Weeds specifically. If the owner or occupant of the property, building or dwelling fails, neglects, or refuses to comply with the notice to abate after the time specified in the notice to abate the violation, the Village may cut or cause all weeds to be cut or destroyed upon lands of the person not complying with the provisions of this section without notice subsequent to the time specified in the first notice to abate issued pursuant to Section 662.10. All costs for said abatement shall be assessed to the property owner as set forth in this Chapter.
