How you get notice before your stored property is removed

(a) The written notice required to be served by § 13-19.3 (b) is deemed to have been served if a copy of the written notice is served on the person storing the personal property or is posted prominently and conspicuously on the stored personal property. The written notice must contain the following: (1) A description of the personal property to be removed (such description may refer to an attached photograph); (2) The location of the personal property; (3) The date and time the notice was posted; (4) The section of the ROH that is being violated; (5) A statement that the personal property will be impounded if not removed within 24 hours; (6) The location where the removed property will be stored; (7) A statement that impounded property will be sold or otherwise disposed of if not claimed within 30 days after impoundment; and (8) A statement that the property owner shall be responsible for all costs of removal, storage, and disposal. (b) Shopping carts. If a shopping cart is removed and impounded pursuant to § 13-19.3 , the city shall notify the Retail Merchants Association or its successor organization of the location where the shopping cart may be claimed. The Retail Merchants Association or its successor organization shall notify the owner of the shopping cart or owner’s agent of the location where the shopping cart may be claimed. The owner or owner’s agent shall have three business days from the date the city notifies the Retail Merchants Association or its successor organization to retrieve the shopping cart without charge. If the owner or owner’s agent fails to retrieve the shopping cart within three business days, the shopping cart shall become impounded property as provided in § 13-19.5 (a), written notice shall be provided as in § 13-19.5 (b), and the owner shall be subject to any applicable fees and costs imposed pursuant to § 13-19.5 (a). Any shopping cart not reclaimed by the owner or owner’s agent within 30 days after the date of written notice may be disposed of as personal property valued at less than $1,000.
