b) Any lienholder proceeding under this

section shall notify the owner of the property subject to the lien upon completion of the work for which the lien is claimed. This notice shall be by first-class mail. (

c) If a property owner who has actually received notice pursuant to subdivision (

b) fails to pay the charges for which the lien is claimed for days following receipt of the notice, the lienholder may thereafter charge two dollars ($2) per day for storing the property subject to the lien and these charges shall also be secured by the lien. (

d) Not less than days following the notice specified in subdivision (b), the lienholder shall notify the property owner by first-class mail that the property will be sold to satisfy the lien, unless the charges are paid within days following the mailing of the notice. (

e) If the lienholder has complied with the notice requirements of subdivisions (

b) and (d), not less than days have elapsed since the mailing of the notice required by subdivision (d), and the property owner has not fully paid the original charges for which the lien is claimed plus any additional charges authorized by subdivision (c), the lienholder may sell the property subject to the lien at a public or bona fide private sale to satisfy the sum of those obligations, all costs and expenses of the sale, and interest at the rate of percent per annum from days following receipt of the notice specified in subdivision (

b) or the date the same were advanced until repayment. (

f) However, the owner of the property sold pursuant to subdivision (

e) may redeem the property sold to satisfy the lien, within days following the sale, upon payment of all charges, costs and expenses, and interest specified in subdivision (e). (
