GENERAL REGULATIONS
The existence of any of the following conditions on any vacant lot or other parcel of land within the corporate limits is hereby declared to be dangerous and prejudicial to the public health or safety and to constitute a public nuisance.
(Prior Code, § 8-1.1) (Ord. passed 7-9-1984; Ord. passed 9-14-1987)
If a determination is made that conditions constituting a public nuisance exist, the Town Administrator/Town Clerk shall notify, in writing, the owner of the premises in question of the conditions constituting the public nuisance and shall order the prompt abatement thereof within 15 days from the receipt of the written notice.
(Prior Code, § 8-1.3) (Ord. passed 7-9-1984; Ord. passed 9-14-1987)
If the owner, having been ordered to abate a public nuisance, fails, neglects or refuses to abate or remove the condition constituting the nuisance within 15 days from receipt of the order, the Town Administrator/Town Clerk shall cause the condition to be removed or otherwise remedied by having employees of the town go upon the premises and remove or otherwise abate the nuisance under the supervision of an officer or employee designated by the Town Administrator/Town Clerk. Any person who has been ordered to abate a public nuisance may, within the time allowed by this chapter, request the town, in writing, to remove the condition, the cost of which shall be paid by the person making the request.
(Prior Code, § 8-1.4) (Ord. passed 7-9-1984; Ord. passed 9-14-1987)
(A) The actual cost incurred by the town in removing or otherwise remedying a public nuisance shall be charged to the owner of the lot or parcel of land concerned, and it shall be the duty of the Tax Collector to mail a statement of the charges to the owner or other person in possession of the premises, with instructions that the charges are due and payable within 30 days from the receipt thereof.
(B) In the event that charges for the removal or abatement of a public nuisance are not paid within 30 days after the receipt of a statement of charges as provided for in this section, the charges shall become a lien upon the land or premises where the public nuisance existed and shall be collected as unpaid taxes, as provided in G.S. § 160A-193.
(Prior Code, § 8-1.5) (Ord. passed 7-9-1984; Ord. passed 9-14-1987)
