It shall be unlawful for any person to plant
or have or keep growing a poplar, box elder, bass wood, willow or
evergreen tree within any public highway or upon any public place
or anywhere within the limits of the City, the roots of which will
penetrate over, on or under the surface of any public highway or other
public place. The Commissioner of the Department of Public Works is
hereby authorized, empowered and directed to cause to be served upon
the owner of any premises having therein any such tree or trees a
notice directing such owner to remove such tree or trees within 20
days after the receipt of such notice. Such notice may be served by
delivering the same personally to such owner or by leaving the same
with any person of suitable age and discretion residing at or upon
such premises or by affixing the same to such premises in a conspicuous
place thereon. If, at the expiration of such period, the owner of
such premises shall not have removed such tree or trees, or caused
the same to have been removed, said Commissioner is hereby authorized,
directed and empowered to enter upon such premises and remove such
tree or trees. Said Commissioner shall thereafter mail to the owner
or agent of such premises at his last known address a statement of
the cost and expense of removing such tree or trees with the demand
that the owner pay to the City Treasurer of the City of New Rochelle,
New York, within 30 days from the date of such statement the amount
thereof, and if such amount shall not have been paid within such 30
days, the cost and expense of doing such work shall be collected in
an action at law.
