Whenever a nuisance is found to exist within the township, the Supervisor or some other duly designated officer of the township shall give five days’ written notice to the owner or occupant of the property upon which such nuisance exists or upon the person causing or maintaining the nuisance.
(Ord. 11, passed 7-7-1987)
The notice to abate a nuisance issued under the provisions of this subchapter shall contain:

(B) The location of the nuisance, if the same is stationary;
(C) A description of what constitutes the nuisance;

(Ord. 11, passed 7-7-1987)
Upon the failure of the person upon whom notice to abate a nuisance was served pursuant to the provision of this subchapter to abate the same, the Supervisor and or other duly designated officer of the township shall proceed to abate such nuisance and shall prepare a statement of costs incurred in the abatement thereof.
(Ord. 11, passed 7-7-1987)
When, in the opinion of the Supervisor or other duly designated officer, there is actual and immediate danger to the public or occupants of a particular premises caused by a nuisance on such premises, the Supervisor or duly designated officer is hereby authorized and empowered, without any notice or hearing, to order and require such premises to be vacated. The Supervisor or other duly designated officer shall immediately post the premises, warning of the dangerous condition and shall then abate such nuisance and prepare a statement of costs incurred in the abatement thereof.
(Ord. 11, passed 7-7-1987)
Any and all costs incurred by the township in the abatement of a nuisance under the provision of this subchapter shall constitute a lien against the property upon which such nuisance existed which lien shall be filed, proven and collected as provided for by law for property taxes. Such lien shall be notice to all persons from the time of its recording and shall bear interest at the legal rate thereafter until satisfied.
