1345.04 NONSUMMARY ABATEMENT.

   (a)   Should the Building or Housing Inspector find that a public nuisance exists, but that the nature thereof is not such as to require summary abatement, the Building or Housing Inspector shall cause photographs to be made of such nuisance and shall file and keep in his office such photographs along with reports pertaining to the public nuisance. The Building or Housing Inspector shall then determine the individual, firm or corporation who from the records in the Auditor’s Office of Summit County, appears to be the titled owner of the property and shall, within five days, cause a written notice to be served on such titled owner. Notice shall be served by certified mail with a return receipt requested. If service of such written notice is unable to be perfected, then the Building or Housing Inspector shall cause a copy of the aforesaid notice to be served by ordinary mail service which shall be deemed complete upon mailing, and also left with the individual, if any, in possession of the premises on which the public nuisance exists, or if there is no individual in possession of the premises, he shall cause a copy of the notice to be posted on the premises.

   (b)   The notice required by subsection (a) hereof shall state, in brief, the findings with respect to the existence of the public nuisance by the Building or Housing Inspector. The notice shall further state that unless the owner causes the nuisance to be abated within thirty days after service of the notice, the nuisance shall be abated by the City at the expense of the owner.
