(c) A description of the action(s) required to abate the nuisance(s); and
(d) The time period for such abatement action(s) to occur.

(C) An order of abatement shall be served as follows:
(1) To the owner of the property as shown on the latest equalized assessment roll by personal delivery or by mailing the order to the address(es) indicated thereon by registered or certified mail, provided, however, that if such registered or certified mail is refused, the order may then be served by first class mail; and
