Whenever any department has in its possession any personal property, the ownership of which is unknown, the Department shall retain the property in its possession for a minimum period of 90 days from the date on which it came into possession of the department, during which time the Police Department shall make reasonable effort to ascertain the identity of the owner thereof, and, should the identity and address of such owner be ascertained, shall give notice to such owner by mail of the fact that the property is in the possession of the Department, and that the owner, upon satisfactorily identifying him or herself and his or her ownership, will be entitled to receive the property.
