(A) The owner of any real estate on which is situated a nuisance may abate the same by entering into a contract for the repair or alteration of any existing structure which has been unoccupied because of damage or by entering into contracts for the demolition of any existing building and its replacement with a new building or for the landscaping of the premises in a manner which will remove any hazard to the safety of pedestrians and motorists and which will remove all physical blight from the premises.
(B) If the owner, occupant or other persons served with a notice to abate the nuisance shall refuse or neglect to abate the nuisance within the designated time after notice is given, that person shall be subject to a fine of not more than $50. In addition, the Council may cause the nuisance to be abated in any manner authorized by law, including the institution in the name of the town against the owner, occupant or other person or an action and the attorney’s fees incurred by the town.
