The Chief of Police, or his or her designee, shall cause notice to be given to the personal property owner of each violation of this subchapter upon receiving a signed complaint. Such notice shall be in writing, define the violation and describe the location of the violation. The notice shall be served personally or forwarded by United States mail to the last known address of the person or property owner. Further, the notice shall demand abatement of the nuisance within ten days from the date the notice was served or mailed. If the nuisance is not remedied within such period of time, the city may cause such nuisance to be remedied at the exclusive cost of the person violating this subchapter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Chief of Police or his or her designee may charge the owner of any motor vehicle causing a nuisance as described in § 91.51(15) of this subchapter as any other traffic violation under this code and no notice is required as herein described, and the penalty for such violation shall be the penalty as described under the general penalty provisions of the code as it applies to other traffic violations under this code.
