(a) Whenever complaint is made to the Zoning Officer of the existence of a public nuisance in the Village, the Officer shall promptly cause to be inspected the premises on which it is alleged such public nuisance exists. Should the Officer find that a public nuisance exists and that the public health, safety or welfare may be in immediate danger, he shall then determine the person who, from the records in the County Treasurer's office, appears to be the titled owner of the property and immediately cause a written Notice to be served on such person, either personally or by leaving a copy at the usual place of residence or business of such person or at the address of such owner shown in such Treasurer's records or by mailing a copy to such person at such place or address by United States certified mail, return receipt requested. If service of the written notice cannot be perfected by any of the hereinbefore described methods, then the Officer shall cause a copy of the notice to be left with the person, if any, in possession of the premises on which it is alleged such public nuisance exists, or if there is no person in possession thereof he shall cause a copy of the notice to be posted on the premises. The notice shall briefly set forth the findings with respect to the existence of a public nuisance by the aforesaid officers and shall further state that unless the owner thereof causes the abatement of the public nuisance within twenty-four hours after service of the notice the same will be abated by the Village at the expense of the owner.
(b) Any act to be carried out by any public official under any section of this chapter may be carried out by any of his subordinates, assigns or anyone directed by him to carry out such function. (Ord. 13-14. Passed 7-2-14.)
