Whenever the maps shall have
  been filed pursuant to section 5-435 of this subchapter, the corporation
  counsel shall institute a proceeding  to  ascertain  and  determine  the
  compensation which justly should be made to the respective owners of the
  real  property  affected  or damaged by the closing of the street and to
  the respective owners of the fee  title  to  the  land  in  such  closed

  determine  such compensation, to be published in the City Record for ten
  days prior to the making of such application, and shall state  the  time
  and  place  when  and  where such application shall be made. Such notice
  shall specify and describe the closed street by means of the description
  contained in the resolution which provided for the closing  thereof.  It
  shall  also  specify  what  portion,  if  any, of the land in the closed
  street the acquisition of fee title to which is  provided  for  in  such
  order.
