(5) To erect, use or maintain a dwelling which is unfit for human habitation, a “dwelling” shall include any part of any building or its premises used as a place of residence or habitation or for sleeping by any person. A dwelling is “unfit for human habitation” when it is dangerous or detrimental to life or health because of want of repair, defects in the drainage, plumbing, lighting, ventilation or construction, infection with contagious disease or the existence on the premises of an unsanitary condition likely to cause sickness among occupants of the dwelling;
(6) To cause or allow any tree, stack or other object to remain standing upon such premises in such circumstance that it shall, if the condition is suffered to endanger the life, limb or property or cause, hurt, damage or injury to persons or property upon the public streets or public ways adjacent thereto, by the falling thereof or parts thereof;

(9) To cause or allow debris, junk, noxious weeds, such an accumulation on any premises of filth, trash, garbage or other waste materials that it endangers the public health, welfare or safety or materially interferes with the peaceful enjoyment by owners or occupants of adjacent property because of the danger of its catching or communicating fire, its attracting and propagating vermin, rodents or insects or its blowing into any street, sidewalk or property of another. It shall be the duty of the persons owning or being in charge of those business establishments whose patrons purchase goods or services from their automobiles, commonly known as “drive-ins,” to furnish sufficient covered receptacles for the deposit of wastes created in the operation of such business, and to clean up such wastes as are not deposited in receptacles at the close of business each day (if such business operates continuously, at least one each day) and at such other times when weather conditions are such that waste from the operation of such business is being blown to adjoining premises.
(C) It shall be the duty of every owner, occupant or persons in charge of any lot of land within the town to cause noxious weeds to be destroyed by spraying with a chemical approved by the Town Council or by cutting them or digging them under.
