(A) The Committee may on their own initiative or upon the written request of any person make an investigation to determine whether or not the storage, collection, maintenance, or display of waste or solid waste is in violation of § 53.05.
(B) After investigation, if the Committee finds that there is reasonable cause to believe that a public nuisance or violation exists, they shall forward a written notice of such finding to the alleged violator or violators.
(C) If within 72 hours after the receipt of the written notice by the alleged violator, the situation complained of by the Committee has not been remedied, the Committee, if the violation is accumulation of solid waste or wastes, may cause the removal from the subject premises the wastes or solid waste found to be the cause of the danger. Such removal shall be at the costs of the person served, and the Committee, the County Judge/Executive, the Court, the Mayor, the Council, or an agent thereof, shall not be liable for any trespass or conversion to any real or personal property.
(D) The accumulation, storage, collection, or disposal of solid waste by any person in violation of this chapter or regulations promulgated hereunder is a nuisance and the Court, Council, or Committee may, in addition to other remedies provided by law, institute injunction, abatement, or other appropriate legal proceedings to temporarily or permanently enjoin or abate such storage, accumulation, collection, or disposal.
(E) The provisions of this section are in addition to and not in lieu of any criminal prosecution, penalties, or proceedings as provided by § 53.99 or by state law.
