   (A)   Whenever any public nuisance as provided in § 94.02 exists in the city in violation hereof, the persons authorized by § 94.04 to administer this chapter shall send written notice, by certified mail with a five-day return requested to:

      (1)   The last known registered owner of the nuisance;

      (2)   Each lien holder of record of the nuisance; and

      (3)   The owner or occupant of:

         (a)   The property on which the nuisance is located; or

         (b)   If the nuisance is located on a public right-of-way, the property adjacent to the right-of-way.

   (B)   Such notice shall state:

      (1)   The nature of the public nuisance;

      (2)   The nuisance must be abated and removed not later than the tenth day after the date on which the notice was mailed; and

      (3)   That any request for a hearing must be made before the ten-day period expires.

   (C)   If the post office address of the last known registered owner of the nuisance is unknown, notice may be placed on the nuisance or, if the owner is located, hand delivered.
