(A) Any bike/scooter rack or other Bikeshare and Scooter-share facility installed, used or maintained in violation of the provisions of this chapter may be removed or stored in any convenient place by any officer of the city. Ten calendar days prior to removal, written notice of the violation shall be given by attaching a notice of violation to the bike/scooter rack or facility and mailing such notice to the permittee. At any time within said ten-day period, an informal administrative hearing to challenge the existence of the alleged violation may be requested by the permittee or a representative of the permittee. The hearing shall be held before the Development Review Committee, whose decision in the matter shall be final and not subject to the appeal provisions set forth in Title 2 of this code. If the permittee fails to correct the violation during the ten-day period, or within five days following an adverse decision by the Development Review Committee, whichever is later, the bike/scooter rack or other structure shall be removed, held as evidence or disposed of as unclaimed property by the Police Department.
(B) The cost of removal and/or storage by the city of any bike/scooter rack or other facility subject to this chapter shall be chargeable as a civil debt to the owner thereof and may be collected by the city in the same manner as it collects any other civil debt or obligation.
