- Analysis -

This ordinance modifies the notice requirements for vehicles that are condemned by the department of neighborhood services (DNS) as nuisance vehicles. The notice of condemnation shall be on a "Condemned" placard which is conspicuously posted on the vehicle. The placard may be posted at any time after the commissioner determines that the vehicle constitutes a nuisance. The ordinance also repeals a requirement that the condemnation order be posted on the property where the vehicle is located.
