(A) The owner of an impoundment vehicle or other interested person shall have the right to a hearing to determine whether the impoundment and any subsequent towing was erroneous, if the owner files a written demand for a hearing before the Ordinance Enforcement Administrator within 14 days after issuance of the notice specified in § 38.15 or within 14 days of impoundment, whichever is later.
(B) A hearing shall be conducted on any business day within 48 hours of receipt of a written demand for hearing, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties. Failure to request or attend a scheduled hearing shall be deemed a waiver of the right to a hearing. In the event of such failure, any amount deposited shall be forfeited. A hearing provided by this section shall not determine the validity of or otherwise adjudicate any citation or notice of ordinance violation issued relative to the impounded vehicle, but shall only relate to whether the vehicle was properly impounded or towed by determining whether the owner previously submitted evidence required by this chapter.
