(a) Whenever the Building and Zoning Inspector finds any building or structure or portion thereof to be an unsafe structure, he shall, in accordance with the established procedure for legal notices, give to the owner, agent or person in control of such building or structure written notice stating the defects thereof. Such notice shall require the owner, within a stated period of time, either to complete the repairs or improvements specified therein or to demolish and remove such building or structure or portion thereof.
(b) If such person addressed cannot be found within the City after diligent search, then such notice shall be sent by registered mail to the last known address of such person and a copy thereof shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the premises involved. Such mailing and posting shall be deemed legal service of the notice.
