Whenever it appears that any lands or property contains such quantity of brush, grass, rubbish or weeds as to constitute a fire or health hazard or poisonous shrubs or weeds, the Town Board may order the owner of the lands or property to cut, trim, remove or spray the brush, grass, rubbish, weeds or poisonous shrubs or weeds. A copy of the order shall be personally served upon the owner or mailed to him by certified mail at his address as shown by the records of the Town Assessor. A copy of the order may also be served upon or mailed by certified mail to the last known address to any other person having or claiming an interest in the lands or property as occupant, mortgagee or otherwise.
In the event that the order is not complied with within 10 days following personal service or 14 days following mailing of the order, the Building Commissioner shall cause the work therein required to be done or completed.
The provisions of this article shall not apply to any lands or highway easements owned by another municipal corporation or political subdivision of the state.
