The City Council or a designated representative may remove or cause to be removed any junk automobile or abandoned vehicle, or parts of either, from any unenclosed private property after having notified, in writing, the owner or occupant of such property of his or her intention to do so at least 48 hours prior to such removal. Such notice shall be served personally upon the owner or occupant of the property, if occupied, or may be posted in a conspicuous place upon vacant or unoccupied property. Such junk automobiles or abandoned vehicles, or parts of either, shall be removed to the automobile pound and disposed of in accordance with law. Such removal by the City Council or designated representative shall not excuse or relieve any person of the obligation imposed by this subchapter to keep his or her property free from storage or accumulation of junk automobiles or abandoned vehicles, or parts of either, nor from the penalties for violation thereof.
