§ 26-124. Notice to abate condition constituting nuisance; appeal.

If at any time a town officer shall find that a condition which constitutes a nuisance exists within the town, he shall give notice in writing to the owner, occupant or person in charge of the premises upon which such condition exists, stating therein the condition which constitutes a nuisance, and directing such addressee to remedy the condition within the time stated in the notice, which shall be not more than ten days. It shall be unlawful for any such owner, occupant or person in charge to fail to comply with the terms of such notice, provided that any owner, occupant or person in charge may, within two days from the service thereof, appeal to the town council, in which case the terms of such notice shall be stayed pending action of the town council, which shall be final. It is provided further that if the officer giving notice shall state in such notice that the condition which constitutes a nuisance is such as to be an imminent hazard to the health, safety or welfare of the public or any person within or near the premises upon which such nuisance exists, the addressee shall comply with the terms of the notice.
