§ 14-81. Waiver of notice.

The village may undertake the cutting, destruction, or removal of noxious weeds or grass or other deleterious, unhealthful, or noxious growths on any property within the village on a monthly basis without the notice required in section 14-80 if the property owner or occupant liable has been notified pursuant to that section at any time during the immediately preceding 12 months and has failed to do the work himself after opportunity to do so. However, prior to undertaking such work, the village shall file and record an affidavit, signed by the mayor, or his designee, at the municipal hall. The affidavit shall include the following:

(1)

A description of the property sufficient to reasonably identify it.

(2)

A photograph of the property sufficient to reasonably identify its unsafe or unsanitary condition and to justify the necessity for cutting, destroying, or removing weeds, grass, or other noxious growths.

(3)

A statement that the property owner or occupant liable has, within the past 12 months, failed to do such work after notification and opportunity to do so pursuant to section 14-80.
