Whenever the Health Officer shall deem it necessary to order any person to renovate, cleanse, and purify the premises owned or occupied by him or her, or to abate or remove any nuisance existing thereon, the Health Officer shall make a brief report of the alleged nuisance to the Council. Thereupon, the Council, if it considers the report as showing such nuisance shall order a notice giving the substance of said report to be served on the owner or occupant, by the Marshal, requiring said owner or occupant to remove said nuisance within ten days from the time of serving said notice. Unless said nuisance is removed within said time, it shall be the duty of the Marshal to remove the nuisance and whatever may be the expense of so doing, it shall be charged on said premises and collected as a special assessment or such expense may be recovered by the village in an act of debt or assumpsit against said owner or occupant.
