Whenever it comes to the attention of the police chief that a nuisance exists within the city due to the maintenance or presence of abandoned, wrecked, junked or dismantled motor vehicles or vehicles upon private property within the city, a notice in writing shall be served upon the occupant of the land where the nuisance exists, or in the case there is no such occupant, then upon the person being the owner of such property, notifying them of the existence of the nuisance and ordering its removal in the time specified in this chapter.

B. Notice shall be given by United States mails, postage prepaid, addressed to the occupant or the person who is the owner, at the last known address, as exists upon the records of the city.
