   (A)   No person shall allow, cause, permit or suffer obnoxious vegetation on property or in the right-of-way of a street, alley or sidewalk abutting the property. Obnoxious vegetation must be cut down or destroyed as often as needed to prevent the creation of a health, fire, safety or traffic hazard or in the case of weeds or other obnoxious vegetation, from maturing or going to seed.

      (1)   Vegetation that is or is likely to become:
         (a)   A health hazard;
         (b)   A fire hazard;
         (c)   A traffic hazard, because it impairs the view of a public right-of-way or otherwise makes the use of the thoroughfare hazardous; or
         (d)   Grass and weeds exceeding ten inches. Properties used for crop cultivation and livestock grazing are exempt from the tall grass and weeds provisions if a five foot wide cut or cleared fire break surrounds the perimeter of the property.
      (2)   Poison oak or poison ivy; and
      (3)   Blackberry bushes or vines that extend into a public way, a pathway frequented by children or cross a property line.
