A. Whenever the existence of a nuisance, as defined in this chapter, on any lots or parcels of real estate situated within the village shall come to the attention or knowledge of the village marshal, village president, or village trustees, it shall be the duty of the village marshal or his designated representative to cause a written notice to be issued to the person owning the property on which the nuisance is being continued or conducted, or to the lessee or person responsible for said nuisance. (Ord., 5-28-2002; amd. 2009 Code)
B. Such notice shall be served on the person or persons, or sent by certified mail to the last known postal address of the person or persons, or posted on the premises wherein said nuisance is continuing, in the event no one is in actual possession thereof.
C. Such notice will give said person or persons ten (10) days after mailing, service or posting, as the case may be, to abate the nuisance and will further describe generally the nuisance itself and the abatement relief sought. Said notice shall further state that, in default of the performance of those acts necessary to abate the nuisance, the village may at once cite the owner for the violation of this chapter and cause the nuisance to be abated and charge the costs and expenses incurred in doing or having such work done to the owner of such property. Failure to reimburse the village for abatement costs shall result in the placement of a lien upon the land for the cost of abatement. Said notice shall further state that violation of this chapter may subject the offender to fines as outlined in this chapter. (Ord., 5-28-2002; amd. 2009 Code)
