Whenever the tree inspector finds, with reasonable certainty, that a nuisance, as
defined in section 30-177, exists in any tree or wood located on private property in the city, the tree inspector
shall notify the owner of the property by mail of the infestation, and specify a time
in which the infestation shall be injected, removed or otherwise treated by the owner.
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 the entire cost
will be billed to the owner, and if not paid shall be assessed against the property
under Minn. Stats. § 429.101.
