LAWN ENFORCEMENT The good news is, no more snow shoveling for a while. So that frees up your time to cut the grass.

According to the health and safety provisions of Mt. Lebanon’s municipal code, it is the responsibility of the owner of any property, occupied or vacant, to maintain the lawn. The code enforcement officer is empowered to issue a citation if the grass reaches a height of six inches or more. The owner could receive a citation, and if that doesn’t stimulate action, the municipality can cut your grass for you, billing you for the cost plus a 10 percent penalty. Be a good neighbor. Cut the grass.
