(A) In addition to the penalty provision provided in § 91.99, in the event of the refusal or neglect by the owner or owners and/or occupiers of the property to cut, destroy, and/or remove weeds, grass, or otherwise comply with the terms of this subchapter, the village at its sole option and election, may enter upon said premises and correct the violations of this subchapter at the expense of the owner or owners of the premises. All costs, charges, and expenses incurred or imposed by the village as a result of correcting the violations of this subchapter in the removal or cutting down of such weeds or grasses on such real property including reasonable attorney fees, shall constitute a lien upon the real estate affected, and a lien shall be enforced as provided by statute.
(B) Any lien permitted by this subchapter may be enforced by obtaining a judgment against the owner or owners of said property for such charges and costs of suit, or by filing a claim for lien therefor in the Recorder’s office of the county, giving the description of the property, itemizing the charges, and giving the date thereof, said claim for lien to be supported by affidavit, and which said claim for lien may be foreclosed in the manner provided by law for foreclosure of other statutory liens.
(C) All remedies provided herein are deemed cumulative so that the use or implementation of one remedy does not bar or preclude the use of any other available remedy for such violators.
