Sec. 42-78. Lien against real property; notice of abandoned, inoperative vehicle.

(a) If the owner or occupant of any real property within the corporate limits of the city neglects or refuses, after being given seven days' written notice by the police department or code enforcement officers of the city, to remove, abate or eliminate any condition referred to in section 42-77, the city will do whatever is necessary to correct the condition and will charge the cost of the correction to the property owner to secure its costs; the city will perfect a lien against the affected property pursuant to A.C.A. § 14-54-903 et. seq.

(b) Before any abandoned or inoperative motor vehicle is taken into custody and possession from private property, the city shall give the private property owner or occupant and the owner of the motor vehicle, if ascertainable, 30 days' notice by registered or certified mail that such action will be taken unless the motor vehicle is restored to a functional use, disposed of in a manner not prohibited by A.C.A. § 8-6-401, et. seq., or placed in an enclosed building. The 30-day notice may be waived by the owner or occupants of the property jointly and severally.

(c) Any owner/occupant shall be presumed to have notice for the violation if the owner/occupant has received notice of a similar type violation within the previous one year.
