(A) Every person who is the owner of land lying and situated within the town or who occupies, rents or leases any such land, shall keep such land and all appurtenances thereto free and clear of all trash, rubbish, garbage, weeds, grass or other objects that cause such land and/or appurtenances to become a nuisance or menace to the health and welfare of the citizens who live adjacent or near thereto.
(B) It shall be the duty of the owner, occupant or tenant of such land to keep the weeds, bushes, grass and any other vegetation cut and removed from said land to the extent that the same will not afford a breeding place for flies, mosquitoes, rats or any other rodents, to the extent that the same is a menace to the health and welfare of the people living on or near such land, or to the extent that such land shall not become a fire hazard that will endanger the life or property of others.
(C) In the event the owner, occupant or tenant of such land shall fail to remove such weeds, trash, garbage, grass of other objects that cause such land to be a nuisance in the town, the town shall have the authority to enter onto such land and clean the same; and to charge the cost or expense of such action against the owner, occupant and/or tenant. In such event, such charge or expense shall be and constitute a lien against said property, which such lien may be collected in the same manner as the collection of a tax lien.
