The purpose of this chapter is to require that
dwellings be kept clean and free from dirt, filth, rubbish, garbage
and similar matter and from vermin and rodent infestation; to provide
for the control of weeds and litter on vacant lots or other properties
and streets and sidewalks within the Town; to regulate refuse storage
and collection and to make other necessary regulations regarding health
and sanitation; and to authorize the Town Administrator to issue orders
compelling compliance with the provisions hereof and to correct such
conditions at the expense of the property occupants or owners of properties
upon which violations occur.
It shall be unlawful for any person to permit any premises owned, occupied or controlled by him to become or remain in a filthy condition, or to permit the use or occupation of the same in such a manner as to create noxious or offensive smells and odors in connection therewith, or to allow the accumulation or creation of unwholesome and offensive matter or the breeding of flies, rodents, or other vermin on the premises to the menace of the public health or the annoyance of people residing within the vicinity. Any violation of this provision shall be a municipal infraction and any violator shall be fined as provided in Chapter 1, Article II of this Code for each day or fraction thereof for which a violation continues.
