Will I be summonsed if I have junk on my property?
Whenever the Code Enforcement Officer or his duly authorized
representative determines that any junk is a nuisance as defined
in the City Code, he shall cause one written notice to be
served upon the owner of the vehicle or junk if he can be
located, or the person in custody of such vehicle or junk,
stating that the nuisance shall be abated within ten (10) days
from receipt of such notice or an extension of time permitted at
the discretion of the Code Enforcement Officer or his duly
authorized representative. A reoccurrence of the nuisance
within a twelve month period shall be deemed as a continuing
offense and an immediate summons to court shall be issued for
the second and each such violation thereafter within the twelve
month period. The notice shall be deemed sufficient proof that
the same was deposited in the United States Mail first class
postage prepaid. If the junk is not cleaned up within the
ten (10) day period, a summons to court will be issued.
