Who must be notified if an abandoned vehicle has remained on the property for more than 48 hours?

• A. Owner and Occupant
• B. Newspaper
• C. Lien Holder
• D. City Clerk

Answer: (A)

When a vehicle is abandoned on private property, the people who should be notified are the property owner and the person occupying the property. They are the ones with responsibility and ability to address the issue or arrange its removal, so notifying them within 48 hours prompts timely action. The other options aren’t the standard contacts for this private nuisance: a newspaper notice isn’t typically used to handle an individual-property nuisance, a lien holder isn’t usually a direct party to immediate removal actions, and the city clerk isn’t the appropriate recipient for this private-property matter. Focus on getting the owner and occupant informed so the vehicle can be addressed quickly.
