Proper service of the notice required in Section 1723.03 shall be by personal service, residence service, or by registered mail; provided, however, that such notice shall be deemed to be properly served, if a copy thereof is sent by registered mail to the last known address. If any of the parties cannot be located, nor his address be ascertained, this notice shall be deemed to be properly served if a copy thereof is placed in a conspicuous place in or about the building or structure affected by this notice. If such notice is by registered mail, the thirty-day period within which such owner is required to comply with the order of the Building Official shall begin as of the date he received such notice as evidenced by the return receipt. If certified mail service is refused or unclaimed as evidenced by the return of such certified mail with an endorsement showing such refusal or that the envelope was unclaimed, the enforcing official shall reissue the notice by ordinary mail retaining the certified mail envelope and endorsement as evidence of such failure of certified mail service; and service of the notice shall be deemed completed upon mailing of the ordinary mail notice. The enforcing official shall note the fact of ordinary mail service and the date thereof in the records of such enforcement proceeding.
