Any citation or notice issued or given pursuant to any provision of this chapter may be served, and shall be deemed received on the date when served, in any of the following manners:
.010 A Code Enforcement Officer may personally serve the notice or citation on the responsible person or citee. When personally served, the responsible person or citee shall be requested to sign a copy of the notice or citation showing his or her receipt thereof. If the responsible person refuses or otherwise fails to sign the notice or citation, the Code Enforcement Officer shall so indicate on the notice or citation. Neither the refusal or failure of the responsible person or citee to sign the notice or citation, nor the failure of the notice or citation to contain all of the information otherwise required by any provision of this chapter, shall affect the validity of the notice or citation or the validity of its service.
.020 A Code Enforcement Officer may mail the notice or citation by first class mail, if the responsible person or citee is not present for personal service when the Officer issues the notice or citation. When served by mail, the notice or citation shall be mailed to the citee's address shown on the county's last equalized property tax assessment rolls for a property-related violation, or to any address known for the citee for all other violations.
.030 A Code Enforcement Officer may post a copy of the notice or citation in a conspicuous place on the property on which any property-related Code violation exists or existed. When served by posting, a copy of the notice or citation shall also be mailed by first class mail to the responsible person or citee at the address of the property where the violation exists or existed. Failure of the responsible person or citee to receive the posted or mailed copy of the notice or citation, or both, shall not affect the validity of the notice or citation or the validity of its service.
.040 Any notice or order required or authorized to be given by the Manager or the Hearing Officer, or their designees, pursuant to any provision of this chapter shall be given in the manner provided in this section. (Ord. 5930 1 (part); July 27, 2004.)
