A public hearing shall be held before the City Council upon request for a hearing by the owner of the vehicle or the owner of the land on which the vehicle was located. This request shall be made to the Building Official within ten days after the mailing of notice of intention to abate and remove the vehicle. If the owner of the land on which the vehicle is located submits a sworn written statement denying responsibility for the presence of the vehicle on his or her land within the time period, this statement shall be construed as a request for hearing which does not require the presence of the owner submitting the request. If a request is not received within the period, the Building Official shall have the authority to remove the vehicle.
