The registered or legal owner of the vehicle or the owner of the land on which the vehicle is located may request a hearing on the question of abatement and removal of the abandoned, wrecked, dismantled or inoperative vehicle and on the question of assessment of the administrative costs and cost of removal against the property on which it is located. Such request for a hearing shall be in writing and shall be filed with the Building Official not more than ten (10) days after the date on which the notice of intention described in Section 5-10-8 of this Chapter was mailed by the Building Official. If the owner of the land on which the vehicle is located files with the Building Official a sworn statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his/her land within said ten (10) day period, said statement shall be construed as a request for a hearing which does not require the presence of the owner submitting said statement.
