Sec. 7-1-80.   Filing complaint.
   (a)   The City Manager, or designee, shall serve the notice of violation on the responsible party at the site of the violation by personal delivery, by leaving a copy of the notice of violation with any adult residing at the property, or if the property is non-residential, by leaving a copy with a manager or other responsible adult at the premises. If neither are available, the notice of violation may be served by:
      (1)   Personally serving a copy of the notice of violation on the responsible party at another location;
      (2)   Posting a copy of the notice of violation in a conspicuous place at the premises.
   (b)   In the event personal service of the notice of violation is not successful, the City Manager, or designee, shall mail a copy of the notice by first-class mail to the last known address of the responsible party as reflected in the city's or county assessor's records.
   (c)   Service shall be deemed complete upon personal delivery, posting, or three (3) days after the date of mailing, as applicable.
   (d)   If it is determined that the responsible party is not the owner of the property upon which a violation is alleged to exist, a copy of the notice of violation shall be mailed, on the same date the notice of violation is served on the responsible party, to the owner of the property at such person's last known address as reflect in the city's or county assessor's records.
   (e)   The failure of any person to receive any notice required under this Section shall not affect the validity of any proceedings or assessment under this Article. (Ord. 453 § 1, 2024)
