(A) Notice to remove from private property. The Mayor or his or her designee shall give notice of removal to the owner or occupant of the private property where any junk vehicle or any abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, or inoperative vehicle, boat, or farm equipment is located at least 30 days before the time set for compliance.
(1) The notice shall be given to the owner of the property by mail at the address shown by the current year’s tax rolls in the County Treasurer’s office before the governing body holds a hearing or takes action. However, if the owner cannot be located within the 30 days from the date of mailing by the municipal governing body, notice may be given by posting a copy of the notice to remove on the property or by publication one time and not less than 30 days to any hearing or action by the municipality.
(2) The notice to remove shall contain the demand for removal within 30 days and the notice to remove shall state that, upon failure to comply with the notice to remove, the town shall prosecute a criminal complaint for failure to abate the nuisance or undertake such removal with the cost to be levied against the owner of the junk vehicle or the occupant of the property.
(Prior Code, § 15-74)
(B) Procedures for abatement. The provisions for abatement of public nuisance contained in § 92.04(A) shall not apply to junk vehicles or to those which are on abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, inoperative, rusted, junked, or partially dismantled condition (whether attended or not) upon any public property within the town for a period of time in excess of 24 hours.
(Prior Code, § 15-75)
