Upon determination by the Mayor that a newsrack has been installed, used or maintained in violation of the provisions of this chapter, an order to correct the offending condition will be issued to the distributor of the newsrack. Such order shall be telephoned to the distributor and confirmed by mailing a copy of the order by certified mail, return receipt requested. The order shall specifically describe the offending condition and suggest actions necessary to correct the condition. Failure to properly correct the offending condition within three days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays) after the mailing date of the order shall result in the offending newsrack being summarily removed and sold at the next police auction, unless claimed by the owner. If the offending newsrack is not properly identified as to the owner, it shall be removed immediately and sold at the next police auction, unless claimed by the owner. The Mayor shall cause inspection to be made of the corrected condition or of a newsrack reinstalled after removal under this section. The distributor of such newsrack shall be charged a ten dollar ($10.00) inspection fee for each newsrack so inspected which charge shall be in addition to all other fees and charges required under this chapter.
