75-2 Standards It shall be unlawful for any person having control or ownership or any type of tenancy in any lot for which at least one building permit has been issued, in the Town of Hamburg, County of Erie and State of New York, to permit or maintain on such land, or portion thereof, any growth of weeds, grass or other rank vegetation to a greater height than 12 inches on the average, or any accumulation of dead weeds, grass or brush. Removed section above about being in a subdivision with a map cover filed. When a minor subdivision is done the planning board can waive the map cover filing and they do that sometimes. That would mean that those houses would not need to cut their grass. § 75-4Inspection; removal by town. A. If an alleged violation has occurred, the Town Building Inspector shall send written notice of the violation to the last known address of the property owner by certified mail. The property owner shall then have ten (10) calendar days to cure the violation. At the end of the ten day period, the Town Building Inspector shall make an inspection, and if such inspection discloses that the owner or occupant has not complied with said notice, then the Inspector shall cause weeds, grass and other vegetation on such lands or portions thereof to be cut and removed. Once the initial removal of the weeds, grass and other vegetation has been completed by the Town of Hamburg, the Town shall continue to maintain the property with cuts or clearings at least every two weeks until such time as the property owner or occupant has provided written notice by certified and regular mail to the Supervising Code Enforcement Officer acknowledging the condition and confirming that the property will be maintained by the property owner or occupant. B. If the topography of said land is such as to make it impossible or impractical to use machinery in the clearing and cutting, the Inspector shall first grade the land in order that the cutting and removal may be done by machinery. 30
