(b) Identify the violation;
(c) Include a statement of the reason, or reasons, why it is being issued and refer to the section of this Zoning Ordinance being violated; and
(d) State the time by which the violation shall be corrected.
(e) Service of notice of violation shall be as follows:
(1) By personal delivery to the person or persons responsible, or by leaving the notice at the usual place of residence of the owner, and resident if different than owner, with a person of suitable age and discretion; or
(2) By certified mail deposited in the United States Post Office addressed to the person or persons responsible at a last known address.
