It is unlawful and a nuisance for any owner or occupant of any lot, tract or parcel of land situated wholly or in part within the corporate limit of the city to allow accumulations of trash or excessive growth of grass or weeds upon such premises, or along the sidewalk, street or improved alleys adjacent to such premises, so that any such condition shall appear to constitute either:

(1)

A detriment to the health, safety or welfare of the public or community;

(2)

A traffic hazard; or

(3)

A fire hazard to the danger of property.

(b)

The provisions of this article shall not apply to any property zoned and used for agricultural purposes or to railroad property under the jurisdiction of the state corporation commission.
