§ 50-30. Notice—Private property.

(a)

For a nuisance on private property, the administrator shall give not less than ten days' notice stating the nature of the public nuisance on private property, that it must be removed and abated within ten days following service of notice to abate such nuisance, and that if not abated by such day a hearing will be held by the city council or its designee. The notice shall set forth the date, time, and location of the hearing. At the hearing it is presumed, unless demonstrated otherwise by the owner, that the vehicle is inoperable. The notice shall be mailed, by certified mail with a five-day return requested, to the last known registered owner of the junk motor vehicle, any lienholder of record, and to the owner or occupant of the private premises upon which the public nuisance exists. If the post office address of the last known registered owner of the motor vehicle is unknown, notice may be placed on the motor vehicle or, if the last known registered owner is physically located, the notice may be hand delivered.

(b)

If any notice is returned undelivered by the post office, official action to abate the nuisance shall be continued to a date not less than ten days after the date of the return.
