     3    7. Enforcement of lien. An owner's lien may be enforced by  public  or
     4  private  sale of the goods that have been removed from the storage space
     5  at a self-service storage facility, in block, or in parcel, at any  time
     6  or place and on any terms which are commercially reasonable after notice
     7  to all persons known to claim an interest in the goods. The notice shall
     8  include  an itemized statement of the amount due, the description of the
     9  property subject to the lien, the nature of the proposed sale, a  demand
    10  for  payment within a specified time not less than [ten] sixty days from
    11  receipt of notification and a  conspicuous  statement  that  unless  the
    12  claimant pays within that time the goods will be advertised for sale and
    13  sold  at public or private sale in a commercially reasonable manner. The
    14  [notice] first and second notices shall further  include  the  time  and
    15  place  of  any public or private sale and it shall state that any person
    16  claiming an interest in the goods is  entitled  to  bring  a  proceeding
    17  hereunder  within [ten] sixty days of the service of the first notice if

    23  provided by the occupant to the owner, if any. The first notice shall be
    24  personally delivered or sent in accordance with this subdivision  within
    25  thirty  days of the event that triggered the enforcement of the lien and
