(A) The Council finds that junk vehicles are a public nuisance because of the danger to health from vermin and to children attracted by such vehicles.
(B) Any member of the department may order any junk vehicle removed upon ten days' notice as provided in this division.
(C) Notice of such order shall be placed on the junk vehicle. Copies of such notice shall be served on any adult occupying the real estate on which the junk vehicle is located and on the owner of the junk vehicle, if known. If no occupant of the real estate or owner of the junk vehicle can be found, a notice affixed to any building on the real estate shall constitute notice to the owner and occupant of the real estate and to the owner of the junk vehicle. If there is no building on the real estate, the notice shall be affixed elsewrhere on the real estate.
(D) If the junk vehicle is not removed within the time fixed by the order, the department may cause the motor vehicle to be removed at the expense of the owner of the real estate, which expense shall constitute a lien on the vehicle and otherwise be collectable under the terms set forth in § 91.05.
