[HISTORY: Adopted by the Mayor and Council of the Borough
of Maywood as indicated in article histories. Amendments noted where
applicable.]
[Adopted 9-28-2021 by Ord. No. 15-21]
If a private tree, or any part of a private tree becomes dangerous
or hazardous to public safety; and/or falls in a manner that obstructs
any public sidewalk, parking lot, park or roadway; and/or threatens
to fall upon any building, structure, roadway, sidewalk, park, and
parking lot; the owner of the property upon which the private tree
stands/stood shall remove the private tree, or parts of the private
tree, at the owner's expense, upon receipt of notification from
the Borough.
If the owner fails to remove the private tree or the offending
portion thereof as directed by the Borough or if a fallen private
tree needs to be cleared from a public roadway, sidewalk, or other
property that the Borough deems necessary to be cleared, or if an
emergent condition exists that necessitates the immediate removal
of a private tree, the work shall be performed by the Borough Department
of Public Works or its contractor. The Borough Administrator shall
certify the cost for same to the Municipal Council.
Upon receipt of the certified costs, the Municipal Council shall
examine them and shall cause the costs to be charged against owner
of the private tree or the lands. If the Municipal Council finds the
costs to be excessive it shall cause reasonable costs to be charged
and, in doing so, may consider the amounts received from a property
owner from their/its insurance provider for such tree removal. The
amount so charged shall become a lien upon the lands and shall be
added to and become part of the taxes next to be assessed and levied
upon the lands. Same shall bear interest as other taxes and be collected
and enforced by the Tax Collector in the same manner as taxes.
