[Amended 12-22-1981 by Ord. No. 18-81]
It shall be unlawful for any person to transport
garbage or waste in the Village except in vehicles inspected and approved
by the Superintendent of the Department of Public Works and licensed
by the Village Clerk. No such vehicle shall be approved unless it
is constructed so that none of the garbage or waste may spill, leak
or otherwise get out of it except when unloading at a duly authorized
dumping ground. Licenses required by this section shall be issued
by the Village Clerk on payment of a fee of $25, to cover the expense
of inspection and of issuing the license, and shall expire one year
after issuance or at once upon the vehicle's no longer complying with
this section.
A.
No paper, sweepings, refuse, garbage, shells, straw,
shavings, glass, nails, filth, rubbish or waste material of any kind
shall be thrown, deposited or swept upon any street, avenue, sidewalk
or other public place in the Village.
B.
The owner or occupant of any premises abutting a sidewalk
shall have the responsibility of keeping the sidewalk in front of
such premises in a clean condition.

In any case where the Construction Official shall determine
that it is necessary and expedient, for the preservation of public
health, safety, general welfare or to eliminate a fire hazard, to
require the removal from any lands in the Village or the destruction
of brush, grass, weeds, including ragweed, dead and dying trees, stumps,
roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash or debris, the owner
or tenant of such lands shall, within 10 days after notice to do so,
remove from such lands or destroy all brush, grass, weeds, dead and
dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious growths, filth, garbage, trash
and debris thereon.
[Amended 3-26-1985 by Ord. No.
6-85; 4-22-2014 by Ord. No. 2014-06]
A.
In the event that the owner or tenant shall have refused or neglected
to comply with the notice as provided in the preceding section within
10 days, the Construction Official will issue a summons to the owner
and inform the Building Department of the name and address of the
owner and/or tenants. In such event, the Building Department shall,
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.13 and 40:48-2.14, procure removal services
from a rotating list of contractors, to be solicited annually, to
remove or have removed from such lands or destroyed the brush, weeds,
including ragweed, dead and dying trees, stumps, roots, obnoxious
growths, filth, garbage, trash or debris that may be thereon. A copy
of the bill shall be provided to the owner and/or tenants of the property.
The Construction Official shall certify the cost thereof to the Board
of Commissioners, which shall examine the certificate and, if found
correct, shall cause the cost as shown thereon to be charged against
the lands. The amount so charged shall forthwith become a lien on
such land and shall be added to and become part of the taxes next
to be assessed and levied against such lands, the same to bear interest
at the same rate as taxes, and shall be collected and enforced by
the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
B.
In no event shall the assessment of costs against the owner or tenant
of such lands relieve such owner or tenant of any other penalties
imposed for failure to obey the notice provided for in this and the
preceding section.
