(1) For a nuisance on private property, the Code Enforcement Officer for the city shall send a notice stating the nature of the public nuisance on private property, that it must be removed and abated within ten days and that a request for a hearing must be made before the expiration of the ten-day period. The notice must be mailed, by certified mail with a five-day return requested, to the last known registered owner of the junked motor vehicle, any lien holder of record and the owner or occupant of the private premises on which the public nuisance exists.

If the notice is returned undelivered by the United States Post Office, official action to abate the nuisance shall be continued to a date nor earlier than the eleventh day after the date of the return.
(2) For a nuisance on public property, the Code Enforcement Officer for the city shall send a notice stating the nature of the public nuisance so public property and vehicles may enter private property for the purposes specified in the procedures to examine a vehicle or vehicle part, obtain information as to the identity of the vehicle and remove or cause the removal of a vehicle or vehicle part that constitutes a nuisance.
(B) The Municipal Court may issue orders necessary to enforce the procedures set out in this section.
