A. Emergency Abatement. When a vehicle defined by this Chapter as a public nuisance constitutes an immediate hazard or threat of harm and the situation calls for abatement sooner than the abatement procedures herein allow, code enforcement or the Police Department may take or cause emergency removal of such nuisance with such notice to parties concerned, or without notice, as the particular circumstances reasonably allow. Required notification procedures prior to disposal of such vehicle(s) shall be followed.
B. Request for Service. If any member of the public, except self storage operators, requests code enforcement in writing to remove abandoned, dismantled, inoperative, junked or wrecked vehicles or parts thereof, code enforcement is authorized to provide processing and removal for a fee which covers all code enforcement costs. The removed abandoned, dismantled, inoperative, junked or wrecked vehicles or parts thereof, through transfer of title or lien sale process shall become the property of the City and such will be the responsibility of the City to dispose of according to law.
C. Complaints. Code enforcement will investigate anonymous complaints associated with abandoned, dismantled, inoperative, junked or wrecked vehicles or parts thereof. The complaint may be by telephone or in writing and must have situs address and/or assessor parcel number with a description of the violation. The process referring to “notice of intent to abate and remove” will be utilized for abatement if such is determined to be appropriate.
