The owner or operator shall maintain all residual personal property within the Building until disposed of. Personal property or garbage shall be stored in the Building until removal from the Building; or
If the owner elects to utilize a large movable container or receptacle on the premises to aid in the removal and I or disposal of personal property from the premises, then at no time shall any part of the container be placed on any public area adjacent to the premises.

In the event that a moveable container is not used for disposal of the tenant's or occupant's personal property as set forth in 1364.302.7 and that property is improperly placed elsewhere on the property, or the container is not properly removed, then the owner, operator or other person in violation of this Section is subject to prosecution under this Chapter.
1364.302.9 Cost Recovery.

If the owner or operator fails to pay the same within thirty (30) days after the invoice is mailed, the City shall add the amount to the next tax roll of the City of North Olmsted/County of Cuyahoga, and it shall be collected in the same manner as provided by law for the collection of taxes by the City of North Olmsted/County of Cuyahoga.
