If the City Manager or the designated representative determines that a public nuisance exists, in accordance with the standards set forth in these sections on any lot, tract, parcel, or other real property, within the City, whether improved or unimproved, the City Manager, or the designated representative, shall notify the owner of the property, as the ownership appears upon the last complete records of the county tax assessor. The notice shall be given in writing by first class mail, postage prepaid, which shall be effective and complete when properly addressed as set forth above and deposited in the United States mail with postage prepaid, and shall be considered sufficient notice. In case of multiple or joint ownership, service as herein provided on any one (1) owner shall be sufficient. The personal hand delivery by the City Manager or the designated representative in lieu of mailing shall be equivalent to mailing. In the event that the mailed notice is returned by the postal authorities, the City Manager or the designated representative shall cause a copy of the notice to be hand delivered upon the occupant of the property, or upon any agent of the owner thereof. In the event that personal service upon the occupant of the property or upon any agent of the owner thereof cannot be performed after reasonable search, the notice shall be given by a physical posting of the notice on the subject property.
