A. Complaint; Inspection; Abatement By City: Whenever a complaint is made to the Town Council of the existence of a "public nuisance" as defined in Sections 4-2-3 and 4-2-4 of this Chapter, the Town Council shall promptly cause to be inspected the property on which it is alleged that such public nuisance exists. Should the Town Council find that public nuisance exists, and that the public health, safety or welfare is in immediate life- threatening danger, then summary abatement procedures shall be implemented and the Town Council may cause the nuisance to be removed or abated.
B. Notice For Immediate Abatement: When summary abatement is authorized, notice to the owner, agent or occupant of the property informing of the need for the immediate abatement shall be required. Failure or refusal of the occupant or owner to receive the notice does not affect the right of summary abatement.
C. Posting On Property: Following summary abatement, the Town Council shall cause to be posted on the property liable for the abatement, notice describing the action taken to abate the nuisance. (Ord. 252, 9-1-1998)
