A notice to remove shall be provided to such persons owning or responsible for such basketball hoop systems that are impermissibly located within the public right-of-way.

The notice shall be attached to and/or placed at the front door of the private property, together with a copy of this article. Persons owning or responsible for such systems shall remove the equipment from the impermissible location within five days of the date of the notice, which date may be adjusted in the event an issue arises regarding identification of the owner. Such systems remaining in an impermissible location after the passing of the notice period shall be subject to forcible relocation and/or impoundment.
The Police Department and the Public Works shall enforce the provisions of this article.
The removal of the same shall be at the expense of the owner or occupant.
