(a)
It shall be unlawful to allow, permit, or have an accumulation of ashes, solid waste,
recyclable material or yard debris on any premises within the city which tends to
create a public nuisance or health problem. Whenever the director or his agent finds
that it reasonably appears there is immediate danger to the life, health or safety
of any person due to the aforesaid accumulation on any premises within the city, then
such premises are hereby declared to be a public nuisance.
(b)
When such a public nuisance is found to exist on any premises, the occupant, or the
owner in the event the premises is unoccupied, shall be given written notice by the
director with the request that such accumulation shall be removed within seven days
of the receipt of the notice. Should the occupant, or the owner in the event the premises
is unoccupied, fail to comply with the request within that time, he shall be considered
in violation of this section. (Code 1963, Sec. 32A-27)
