It shall be the duty of every person or persons, firm, association or corporation owning or occupying any corner property in the Village of Huntington Bay, formed by the intersection of two streets, roads or avenues, within 30 days after notice in writing served by the Clerk upon direction of the Board of Trustees, to remove or cause to be removed any portion of any fence, hedge, ornamental planting, bush or other plant or shrub now erected or growing on any such corner property which exceeds 30 inches above the street level on any portion of said property within a radius of 30 feet when measured from the corner of the property formed by the intersection of the line of the two streets.
The notice herein required to be given by this section hereof may be served by mailing such notice to such owner, addressed to his last known address.
If any such person or persons, firm, association or corporation owning such land shall fail or neglect to remove or cause to be removed any portion of any such fence, hedge, ornamental planting or other plant or shrub now growing or existing upon the land owned by him, it or them, within 40 days from the date of the notice served by the Clerk, as provided in § 13-11 hereof, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Huntington Bay may cause such work to be done and assess the expense thereof against such land.
