(A) Weeds as a nuisance. Any weeds, whether noxious as defined by law or not, growing upon any lot or parcel of land outside the traveled portion of any street or alley in the city to a greater height than six inches or which have gone or about to go to seed are a nuisance. The owner and the occupant shall abate or prevent such nuisance on such property and on land outside the traveled portion of the street or alley abutting on such property.
(B) Notice. On or before June 1 of each year and at such other times as ordered by resolution of the Council, the Administrator shall publish once in the official newspaper a notice directing owners and occupants of property within the city to destroy all weeds declared by division (A) of this section to be a nuisance and stating that if not so destroyed within ten days after publication of the notice, the weeds will be destroyed by the Public Works Department at the expense of the owner and that if not paid, the charge for the work will be made a special assessment against the property concerned.
(C) Removal by city. If the owner or occupant of any property in the city fails to comply with the notice within ten days after its publication, the Public Works Department shall cut and remove such weeds. The Public Works Department shall keep a record showing the cost of such work attributable to each separate lot and parcel and shall deliver such information to the Administrator.
