§ 20-36. Public hearing upon constructive request; notice of hearing; authority to abate and remove without hearing

If the owner of the property on which the vehicle is located submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his/her land within such ten-day period, the statement shall be construed as a request for a hearing. Notice of the hearing shall be mailed, by registered mail, at least ten (10) days before the hearing to the owner of the property on which the vehicle is located and to the owner of the vehicle, unless the vehicle is in such condition that identification numbers are not available to determine ownership. If such a request for hearing is not received within ten (10) days after mailing of the notice of intention to abate and remove, the city shall have the authority to abate and remove the vehicle, or part thereof, as a public nuisance without holding a public hearing.
