Whenever the existence of any nuisance or cause of disease shall come to the knowledge of the County Board of Health or its enforcement officer, the enforcement officer shall first inspect the nuisance and determine the best and most economical method by which the nuisance or cause of disease may be abated or removed. The enforcement officer shall then serve or cause to be served a written notice on the owner, occupant, or agent of the premises or building whereon or wherein the nuisance or cause of disease is located, giving notice and directions for its abatement or removal in the most economical and sanitary manner. The owner, occupant, or agent shall abate or remove the cause of disease or nuisance in the manner specified in the notice within not less than one nor more than five days from the date of service of the notice, as the enforcement officer shall elect. Any owner, occupant, or agent refusing or neglecting to strictly comply with the requirements or directions specified in the notice shall be guilty of an offense, and every day the nuisance or cause of disease shall remain or continue after the expiration of the time specified in the notice for its removal or abatement shall be deemed and held to be a separate offense.
