(2) Posting a copy of the notice of violation in a conspicuous place at the premises.

(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)
