(A) In the event the owner of any real estate on which is situated a nuisance has not abated the nuisance within 30 days of receipt of notice, the Council shall proceed to abate the nuisance and by landscaping 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. It shall be the duty of the Council to maintain this by landscaping until the real estate is sold or otherwise alienated. However, the Council may extend the 30-day period by an additional 30 days if the Council determines that the owner of the real estate involved is making a good faith attempt to abate the nuisance on the real estate.
(B) The Council may cause the nuisance to be abated by authorizing the proper officer of the town to remove the nuisance with the employment of town employees and charge the owner, occupant or other person for the cost of the removal and abatement of the nuisance, the cost to be determined by doubling the labor cost incurred by the town of abating the nuisance.
