(a) Whenever a complaint is made to the Mayor of the existence of a public nuisance to Section 531.01, he shall promptly inspect or cause to be inspected the premises on which it is alleged a public nuisance exists. Should the Mayor, after inspection, find that a public nuisance does exist, he shall promptly notify the Fire Chief, and the Village Administrator, and the person or persons, firm or corporation which, from the property records of the County, appear to be the owners of the premises, and shall request the Board of Health to make inspection thereof. The Mayor shall also leave a copy of the notice with the person in possession or charge of the premises. The notice shall refer to the provisions of this chapter and shall state that unless the nuisance is abated proceedings will be taken in accordance herewith.
(b) Upon receipt of the notice, the Fire Chief shall inspect the premises and make a written report of his findings, which together with the report of the Mayor shall be filed with the Mayor.
(c) Should the Mayor, the Fire Chief, and the Village Administrator unanimously find that a public nuisance exists and that the nature thereof is such as to require its summary abatement, and if the condition is within the prohibitions of Section 531.01(d), (g) or (h), the Mayor shall cause photographs to be made of the nuisance and shall, within forty-eight hours thereafter, take such action as is necessary to abate the nuisance at the expense of the owner or owners of the premises. In abating the nuisance the Mayor shall not be required to give any further notice to the owner or owners of the premises upon which the nuisance exists.
