Notice is hereby given that Chapter 18, of the Omaha Municipal Code requires owners, agents, occupants or persons in possession or control of any lot or ground, or part thereof, in the City to cut and clear such property together with one-half (1/2) of the streets, alleys, and right of ways abutting thereon of all weeds, grass and worthless vegetation which has reached the height of twelve (12) inches or more.

Such weeds, grass and worthless vegetation must be cut as close to the ground level as possible and shall be so maintained that the same do not extend twelve (12) inches or more above the ground at any time and such cutting shall be raked and removed from such premises.

Notice is also hereby given that Chapter 18, of the Omaha Municipal Code as amended requires owners, agents, occupants or persons in possession or control of any lot or ground, or part thereof, together with one-half (1/2) of the streets, alleys, and right of ways abutting thereon, in the City of Omaha not to litter or to cause or allow litter (as defined in said Ordinance) to be deposited thereon or to allow to remain on such property, other than in proper receptacles provided therefore.

Notice is further given that it shall be unlawful for a person who owns or who is in control of any property, to fail or refuse to keep such property free of litter, to prevent litter from being carried or deposited by the elements beyond such property or to allow litter to remain on such property.

Notice is further given that it shall be unlawful for any person who owns or is in control of any property to place, cause to be placed, or allow to remain on his property any Vehicular litter or any vehicle or vehicles or parts thereof which are as set forth in Section 18-21 of said Ordinance, provided, however, that said Section shall not apply to any vehicle which qualifies as an historic or special interest vehicle as defined in Sections 60.311.15 through 60.311.20 Revised Statutes of Nebraska, 1943, as amended, or to any Vehicle which is kept in the operation of a business pursuant to any Municipal Ordinance or is kept within a garage.

Notice is further given that it shall be unlawful for any person to park or store any vehicle, machine, or parts thereof in violation of the Municipal Code, State Statutes or Federal Law. Notice is further given that whenever the City and through its authorized Representative determines that any litter as defined in Section 18-21 or other condition prohibited by the Chapter 18 of the Omaha Municipal Code, causes imminent danger to public health, safety or welfare, it may remove such litter or remedy such conditions, at the expense of the owner of the land on which such litter is found.

Furthermore, as provided in section 18-28, if the owners, agents, occupants or persons in possession or control of any such property shall fail to so cut and clear said property as above described, the City may cause such weeds, grass and worthless vegetation to be cut or sprayed or such litter to be removed or any combination thereof, and assess the actual cost thereof in amounts as determined by Resolution of the City Council during the month of April each year upon the property in the same manner as special assessments and shall have the right to continue cutting such weeds and removal of all litter, or any combination thereof, at all times thereafter until new growth of the following year.

Furthermore, in addition to the payment of the actual cost, administrative costs provided in section 18-31 shall be assessed. In the event the owner or occupant fails to set up a reinspection and fails to comply with the Notice of Violation within ten days of Notice, and the inspector has to re-inspect the property and finds the nuisance has not been abated, an administrative fee of $105 shall be assessed.

In the event the owner or occupant receives a Notice of Violation for weeds and litter which has been preceded by a Notice for the same nuisance at the same property in the same calendar year, an administrative fee of $105 shall be assessed.

Provided that in the event a violation occurs within 24 months of the two prior violations at the same location, the penalty shall be in the sum of Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00).

In the event any person, firm, or corporation fails to pay the cost of the penalty as above provided, the City may assess the same upon the property in the same manner as special assessments or the City may sue any such person or persons in any court of competent jurisdiction for the amount of the penalty due and payable under the terms and provisions of this Chapter and may recover a judgment against such person or persons for the amount so due, together with interest.

In addition to the penalties above set forth, any person who violates any of the provisions of Chapter 18, of the Omaha Municipal Code is deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be subject to a fine in any sum not to exceed Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) or to be imprisoned not to exceed six (6) months in jail or any combination of such fine and imprisonment for each offense in the discretion of the Court.
