Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, whenever the administrator determines that a newsrack constitutes an immediate threat or hazard or danger to persons or property, the administrator, without observing procedures set forth in this chapter with reference to newsrack removals, will immediately cause such a newsrack to be removed in such manner as the administrator determines is reasonably required. If the administrator deems it feasible, the administrator may attempt to give the newsrack owner verbal notice of the danger and the proposed timing and removal of the newsrack. Where such removal is ordered, the administrator will, after completing the removal of the newsrack, comply with the provisions of this chapter.
