(A) In addition to the penalty provision provided, in the event of the refusal or neglect by the owner or owners and/or occupiers of the property to cut, destroy and/or remove weeds and combustible material or otherwise comply with the terms of § 94.11, the village at its sole option and election, may enter upon said premises and correct the violations of this subchapter at the expense of the owner or owners of the premises, with all costs and charges associated with such work being the debt and obligation of and payable to the village by such owner or owners and/or occupiers of said premises. The cost and expense incurred by the village, or by the person or firm performing the service by authority of the village, in the removal or cutting down of such weeds or grasses, removal and elimination of any debris, refuse or deposits of disposed articles or material on such real property including reasonable attorney's fees, shall constitute a lien upon the real estate affected, and a lien shall be enforced as provided by statute.
(B) Any lien permitted by this subchapter may be enforced by obtaining a judgment against the owner or owners and/or occupiers of said property for such charges and costs of suit, or by filing a claim for lien therefor in the County Recorder’s Office, giving the description of the property, itemizing the charges and giving the date thereof, said claim for lien to be supported by affidavit, and which said claim for lien may be foreclosed in the manner provided by law for foreclosure of other statutory liens.
(C) All remedies provided herein are deemed cumulative so that the use or implementation of one remedy does not bar or preclude the use of any other available remedy for such violators.
