[Adopted 6-10-1982 by Ord. No. 82-8]
All owners of real estate in the Borough of Clayton shall keep
the same free and clear of all noxious weeds and other unhealthy vegetable
growth at all times.
In the event that any noxious or unhealthy vegetable growth
is permitted to remain and exist upon any real estate in the Borough
of Clayton, the Borough of Clayton shall give written notice of such
condition to the owner of such real estate, notifying such person
that, if the same shall not be cut down and removed within 10 days
from the date of said notice, then and in such case the Borough of
Clayton shall cause the same to be cut down and removed at the expense
of the owner or owners of such real estate. Such notice shall be mailed
by the Borough of Clayton, with postage prepaid thereon, to the respective
post office address of such owner, if the same can be ascertained,
and, if not, such notice shall be posted upon the premises.
Any person or corporation violating any of the provisions of
this article shall, upon conviction thereof, be subject to a fine
of not more than $200 or imprisonment for a term not to exceed 30
days, or both. Each day such violation is committed or permitted to
continue shall constitute a separate offense and shall be punishable
as such. The penalty provided by this section is in addition to the
liability of the owner to pay for the cost of removal by the Borough
in the event that such removal by the Borough occurs.
