PREMISES
The Municipality adopts as its By-Law Section 204 of the Municipal Act which
reads as follows:
1. No person shall permit property in the municipality owned or occupied by
him, to be or to become partly demolished, decayed or deteriorated so as
to be in a dangerous, unsightly or unhealthful condition, or shall permit to
remain on any part of property in the municipality, owned or occupied by
him, any ashes, junk, cleanings of yards, bodies or part of automobiles or
other vehicles or machinery, or other rubbish or refuse, so as to cause
such place to be dangerous, unsightly, unhealthful or offensive to all or
any part of the public.
2. Should such condition arise or exist, whether it arose before or after the
passing to the By-Law, any standing committee of the Council may instruct
the Clerk to serve notice on the owner or occupier requiring him to remedy
the condition and specifying in such notice what is required to be done;
such notice may be served by being posted in a conspicuous place upon
the property or may be personally served upon the person named therein.
3. In the event of the failure of the person so notified, to comply with the
requirements of such notice within thirty (30) days after service, any
person authorized by the Municipal Council may enter upon the said
property without writ, warrant or other legal process and remedy the
condition which the Municipal Council has required to be remedied; and
the actual cost of so doing may be recovered as a debt from the person so
served, by action brought by the Clerk in the name of the municipality in
any court of competent jurisdiction, provided that the Originating Notice be
issued within sixty (60) days after cost is incurred.
4. After notice has been served under subsection three (3) if proceedings are
not taken under subsection four (4) the owner, occupier or other person
who aids, assists, permits or cause a condition referred to in this section or
who fails to comply with the terms of said notice, shall be liable to
summary conviction to a penalty of not less than $100.00 an not more than
$1,000.00 and in default of payment to imprisonment to a period of not
less than fifteen (15) days or more than three (3) months, and every day
during which such condition is not remedied is a separate offence.
