Whenever the tree inspector finds, with reasonable certainty, that a nuisance, as
defined in section 30-177, exists in any tree or wood within a public street or boulevard in the city, the
tree inspector shall notify the abutting property owners by mail of the infestation,
and specify a time in which the infestation shall be injected, removed or otherwise
treated by such owner to the satisfaction of the tree inspector. The notice shall
also state that if the nuisance shall not have been abated by the owner within the
time provided, it will be abated by the city and that the entire cost will be billed
to the owner and if not paid shall be assessed against the abutting property under
Minn. Stats. § 429.101.
