§ 159-3. Notice.

A. 

Notice to the owner or tenant to cause the removal of the substances heretofore referred to in §§ 159-1 and 159-2 shall be given by the Business Administrator or his designated agent and may be served upon such owner or tenant either by handing the notice to the owner or tenant or by leaving the notice at his usual place of abode with a person over 14 years of age or by sending the notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address shown on the tax lists of the Borough to which tax bills are sent. If service is made by certified mail, the ten-day period within which removal shall be accomplished shall be deemed to have commenced to run from the date of the return receipt of such certified mail acquired by the postal authority for delivery of such notice.

B. 

Every such notice shall, in addition to requiring the removal as aforesaid, advise the owner or tenant of the lands to which such notice refers that failure to accomplish such removal within the time indicated therein will result in removal by or under the direction of the Business Administrator or his designated agent; and the cost of such removal shall be charged to the owner or tenant of such lands and shall be payable to the Borough within 30 days of certification of charges to the Borough Council. Unless such charges are paid within 30 days of the certification, the charges shall forthwith become a lien upon such lands and be collected as provided for by N.J.S.A. 40:48-2.14 and enforced by the same officers and in the same manner as taxes.
