(a) Required Notice. In addition to the notice required to be posted for the benefit of the general public under the Open Governmental Proceedings Act, if the Board has identified any particular parcel of Property or Dwelling for discussion or determination at any particular meeting, the City Building Inspector shall cause notice to be delivered to the Notice Address of the Property Owner, by certified mail return receipt requested. If for any reason such certified mail is returned without evidence of proper receipt thereof, then the City Building Inspector shall cause a Class III-0 legal advertisement to be published in a newspaper of general circulation in Kanawha County and shall cause notice to be posted on the front door or other conspicuous location on the Dwelling or Property. (W.Va. Code § 8-12-16(g)). Under no circumstances may the Board take action concerning a parcel, Property or Dwelling prior to having the same appear on a duly noticed agenda and having delivered notice pursuant to the requirements of this section.
(b) Form of Notice. Whenever, under the requirements of this Section, notice is to be delivered, the notice shall include at least the following information, provided that should this Section require notice to be published as a Class III advertisement, the notice so published may omit copies of the portion of the Property Articles that are implicated and may state instead that copies may be obtained by contacting the City Building Inspector:
(1) A description of the Property sufficient to identify the Property;
(2) A statement of the violations alleged;
(3) A copy of the portions of the Property Articles that are being implicated;
(4) The time, place and date of the meeting of the Property Board where the Property or Dwelling will be discussed; and
(5) A statement that the Property Board has the authority to order the abatement of the alleged violations described in the notice and that the hearing described in the notice may result in an administrative decision that impacts the Property or Dwelling and could result in a lien against the Property or Dwelling.
