When a building is found by any one or more of the City Inspectors to be a dangerous building, the City Inspectors shall notify in writing the owner, occupant, lessee, mortgagee, agent and other persons having an interest in the property as shown by the records of Crawford County, as to what action is required to be taken under the provisions of Section 1319.04. Such written notice shall be served on such person, persons, firm or corporation, either personally or by leaving a copy at the usual place of residence or business of the owner or the address of such owner on the tax books in the office of the Crawford County Treasurer, or by a copy mailed to such owner at such place or address by United States certified mail return receipt requested. If service of the written notice is unable to be performed by any of the hereinbefore described methods, then the City Inspectors shall cause a copy of the aforementioned notice to be left with the person, if any, in possession of the premises on which it is alleged such public nuisance exists, or if there is no person in possession thereof, he shall cause a copy of the notice to be posted on such premises and, in addition thereto, he shall cause such notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City, once each week for two consecutive weeks. The notice shall set forth a description of the building, a statement of the particulars which make it a dangerous building and, if to be repaired, what repairs are required to render it fit for occupancy or to permit its continued existence, as well as a deadline date for completion of the remedying of the complained of conditions or demolition of the alleged dangerous building.
