Where such a nuisance is found to exist on private property or on the public parkway abutting private property, the village may issue a violation notice to the property owner for adjudication through the circuit court or the village's administrative adjudication system. The violation notice and any penalties imposed shall be independent of, and in addition to, any proceedings to abate the nuisance and lien the property for costs pursuant to §§ 98.35 through 98.37 of this Code. Penalties for violations of this section are graduated and are set forth in § 98.99.
