Such signs and markings shall be installed by and at the expense of the owner of the property within 120 calendar days after receipt of official notice by the Fire Prevention Bureau designating and depicting areas and locations of such signs and markings. In the event that any owner refuses or fails to install any and all required signs and markings within 120 calendar days of receiving said official notice, the Town of Yorktown may perform the required work, and the Town Board of the Town of Yorktown may provide for the assessment of all costs and expenses so incurred by the Town, in connection with any such action, to become a lien against the land on which such signs and markings are located.

Such maintenance shall be effected as needed or within 20 calendar days after receipt of official notice from the Fire Prevention Bureau that such maintenance or replacement is necessary. In the event of a failure or refusal to comply with such official notice within said 20 calendar days of receipt, the Town of Yorktown may perform the required work, and the Town Board of the Town of Yorktown may provide for the assessment of all costs and expenses so incurred by the Town, in connection with any such action, to become a lien against the land on which such signs and markings are located.
