It shall be unlawful for any person being the owner, agent,
lessee or occupant having control of any occupied or unoccupied lot
or land in all zoning districts within the Town, with the exception
of Rural Residential and Agricultural, Land Conservation, Public Park
Lands and Riverfront Recreation/Commercial, to maintain, permit or
allow upon any such lot or land any uncut growth of grass, weeds or
brush, or any noxious or poisonous plants to accumulate or grow to
a height in excess of 10 inches.
If such person shall fail or neglect to provide for the cutting and removal as provided in § 99-1, the Commissioner of Public Works, his designee or any Code Enforcement Officer of the Town shall give written notice to said person by personal service or by affixing the notice to the door of the offending property and by mailing the notice by first-class mail to the person to be served at his or her last known residence ordering such cutting and removal within five days after such notice is given.
If, after due notice as set forth above, said person shall refuse,
neglect or fail to comply with the order to cut and remove such growth,
the Commissioner shall cause said grass, weeds or brush to be cut
and removed, and the cost thereof, plus an administrative fee equal
to the greater of 15% of the cost of such work or $200, shall be assessed
against the property by the Town Board, which shall constitute a lien
and charge on such land and may be assessed upon said land in the
manner provided in § 64, Subdivision 5-a, of the Town Law.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any provision of this
chapter shall, upon conviction thereof, be punishable by a fine of
not more than $250 or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 15 days,
or both.
