(A) Any tree, shrub, or plant in a village right-of-way or on private property and overhanging or projecting into a right-of-way, street, or alley appearing to be dead, liable to fall, infected, infested, dangerous, an obstruction to public travel, or otherwise posing a risk of damage to municipal property, shall be deemed a nuisance, and the village may order the owner of the property to cause such tree, shrub, or plant, or the offending part thereof, to be cut down or trimmed.
(B) The village shall notify the owner of the property of such nuisance and right to a hearing by personal service or first class mail conspicuously marked as to its importance. Within five days of receipt of the notice, the owner may request a hearing to appeal the decision to abate or remove the nuisance by filing a written appeal with the office of the Village Clerk. A hearing of the appeal shall be conducted by the Village Board within 14 days of its filing. A decision shall be rendered within five business days of the conclusion of the hearing. If the appeal fails or the property owner does not request an appeal within five days of receipt of notice, the village may cause the shrub, tree, or dangerous part thereof to be trimmed or removed, and the costs thereof may be assessed to the owner.
