Latest version.
  • The accumulation of underbrush, weeds, rubbish, trash and grass as well as the creation of pools, ponds or other bodies of water or structures which endangers the public health, welfare or safety of the community, has become an ever increasing menace, constitutes a nuisance, and the city acting through the Chief shall have the authority to, and shall, as a priority, abate the same in the most aggressive means provided by the Ordinance Code or state law. The abatement of such nuisance enhances the value of the property, involves furnishing of vital services and constitutes a special assessment.
