§ 8.12.045. Abatement by Village; inoperable motor vehicle or motor vehicle not regularly used on private property.

Whenever any person causes, permits or allows a nuisance prohibited by this chapter to continue or exist at any location other than the public right of way or on property in the possession of or under the control of the Village after the expiration of the time established in any effective notice to abate or upon a determination of the hearing officer that the vehicle is inoperable or not regularly used, the Village may at its option cause the abatement of the nuisance by directing any police officer of the Village police department to remove or cause the removal of any inoperable motor vehicle, motor vehicle not regularly used, or motor vehicle parts the presence of which has created the nuisance in the following manner:

A.

By obtaining the consent of a person identified in the notice to abate who has within the meaning of this chapter caused, permitted or allowed the nuisance to exist; or

B.

As authorized by any order entered in Woodford County Circuit Court or in any other court of competent jurisdiction.

Any such vehicle or parts thereof may be removed and disposed of in accordance with the provisions of chapter 4, article 2 of the Illinois Vehicle Code found at 625 ILCS 5/4-201 et seq. The person shall be responsible for all costs related to the towing, storage, disposal and processing of the motor vehicle. Nothing in this section shall be construed as imposing upon the Village a duty to abate the nuisance specified in this section. The action authorized by this section shall be in addition to and without waiver of any other remedies.
