If the person served pursuant to § 96.03 fails or neglects to abate the nuisance within five days after such notice, it shall be the duty of the Manager of the Streets and Alleys to enter upon such lands to abate such nuisance, or cause to have the nuisance abated by some private person at reasonable cost, keeping an account of the expense thereof. Express power to so enter upon such lands and abate the nuisance is hereby conferred upon the Manager of Streets and Alleys or his or her agent. In addition to the penalties provided in this chapter, such expense shall be charged to and paid by the owner or occupant of the premises concerned. In the event the nuisance abated concerned high weeds, rat or pest extermination, the removal of trees with Dutch Elm disease, or the removal of garbage or debris, the abatement costs incurred by the village shall constitute a lien on said property until fully discharged. Such lien may be created and recorded as set forth in Sections 11-20-7, 11-20-8, 11-20-12 and 11-20-13 of the Illinois Municipal Code
(ILCS Ch. 65, Act 5, §§ 1-1 et seq.). Upon payment of the cost and expense by the owner of or persons interested in such property, after notice of lien has been filed, the lien shall be released by the municipality or person whose name the lien has been filed and the release may be filed of record as in the case of filing notice of lien. The owner or occupant shall pay the cost of preparing and recording the lien and release.
