No owner or occupant of any lot or land, whether residential, commercial or industrial, either public or private, within the City, shall allow or maintain on any portion of such lot or land any growth of weeds, grass or any noxious or poisonous weeds which may create a condition detrimental to the public health. "Noxious or poisonous weeds" includes, but is not limited to, Canada thistles, milkweed, wild carrots, ox-eye, daisies, ragweed, goldenrod, burdock and poison ivy. Every person who owns or inhabits any land within the City shall cut, destroy or remove from such land all grasses and weeds, including noxious and poisonous varieties, whether residential, commercial or industrial property, from April 15 through October 15 of each year, to prevent such weeds from going to seed or blossom, as the case may be, as well as overgrowing the lot, and to prevent dead grass and brush from becoming a fire hazard or health hazard. The Assessor's Office or its agent shall determine which lots need to be cut and the decision of that office shall be final and conclusive.
