Any person representing the owner, as heretofore defined, as agent, shall be bound to comply with the provisions of this Part to the same extent of the owner; provided, however, that no agent of such owner shall be held personally responsible for the failure of the owner to make expenditures to comply with the terms of this Part, on condition that the said agent has notified the owner of the provisions of this Part with which he is required to comply and has not been authorized by the owner to make the expenditures required.
To suffer, allow, consent, let; to give, leave or license; to acquiesce by failure to prevent, or to expressly accept or agree to the doing of any act.

[Ord. 1980-4, 6/25/1980, § 3]
It shall be unlawful for any owner to maintain on public or private property any dangerous or dilapidated or decayed or unsafe structure of such a nature that it:
Interferes with the health and/or safety of persons beyond the boundaries of such property or of persons who might reasonably be expected to enter upon or be in such property.
Disturbs, interferes and endangers the peaceful use of the property of others within the Borough, taking into consideration the location of the use or condition and the nature and condition of the surrounding neighborhood.
[Ord. 1980-4, 6/25/1980, § 4]
Any owner who shall create, continue, maintain or permit to exist any such dangerous or dilapidated or decayed or unsafe structure at any place within the Borough shall, within 10 days, or such greater reasonable time as determined by Borough Council, after notice from Borough Council to do so, remove or repair such structure so as to correct the structure's dangerous, dilapidated, decayed or unsafe condition. If such owner shall fail, neglect or refuse to remove or satisfactorily repair such structure within such time limit, the Borough Council shall have authority, in person or by its agents and/or employees, to remove said structure, and in so doing, shall have authority to enter upon the property of such person in default and, thereupon, the Borough Council shall collect the cost and expense of such removal from any owner who created, continued, caused, maintained or permitted the said structure to exist, such owner having failed, neglected or refused to remove or repair such structure when so requested, with an additional amount of 10%, in the manner provided by law, for the collection of municipal claims, or by an action in assumpsit, provided such cost and expense so levied on any owner shall be in addition to any penalty imposed under § 105 of this Part.

Each day that violation of this Part continues after the expiration of 10 days or such longer reasonable time is provided by Borough Council, after issuance of the notice referred to in § 104, shall constitute a separate offense.
[Ord. 1980-4, 6/25/1980, § 6]
