Whenever the Service Director finds that a sidewalk should be cleaned so as to be free from any objectionable substance, he or she shall order such sidewalk cleaned and notice shall be served upon the owner of the parcel of land abutting on the sidewalk. If such sidewalk, curbing or gutter is not cleaned within five days after the service of the notice or completion of the publication, except if the objectionable substance is snow, then within 12 hours after the abatement of a snow storm, the Service Director shall have it done at the expense of the owner. The cost of the cleaning shall constitute a lien upon the property and shall be paid by the owner to the Finance Director. If it is not paid within ten days from the time it was reported to the owner, the Service Director shall certify the cost, together with a penalty of five percent thereon, to the County Auditor who shall collect the same in the same manner as other taxes are collected.
