If any landowner responsible for repairing any sidewalk shall fail or refuse to apply for a sidewalk repair permit, then it shall be the duty of the City Superintendent, or City Engineer as the case may be, to deliver a notice to repair to the owner, if he or she is a resident of or can be found in the city. If the owner is not a resident of the city or cannot be found in the city, the notice shall be sent by either registered or certified mail (with return receipt requested) to the last known address of the owner as may appear in the records of the City Recorder. The notice shall contain the name or names of the owners or reputed owners of the property responsible for making any sidewalk repairs, the location of the sidewalk to be repaired, a description of the property abutting the sidewalk, the type or kind of repairs to be made, the materials to be used in making the repairs, the time limit within which the repairs are to be made, a reference to this chapter, the date of the notice, and the signature of the city official giving the notice. A copy of the notice shall be filed with the City Recorder. If any notice which is mailed is not receipted for by the owner or is returned by the post office department because the owner cannot be located, then the City Superintendent or City Engineer shall post a copy of the notice for a period of not less than 10 days in a conspicuous place on the property of the owner. The City Superintendent or City Engineer shall indicate on the copy of the notice filed with the City Recorder the date that the original notice was delivered or mailed, the name and address of the person to whom it was delivered or mailed, and the date and place the notice was posted, if posting is required.
