(a)

Any person who owns or has charge or control of any premises or vacant lot in the city and who, after having received noticed as provided for in section 9-39 to cut the weeds, grass or vegetation or to remove the trash, debris, or litter therefrom, fails to do so within ten (10) days after such notice, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
