(a) Should the Building Inspector, and either the Fire Chief or County Health Official find that a public nuisance exists, but that the nature thereof is not such as to require summary abatement, reports of their findings shall be made and filed with the Director of Community Development. The Director of Community Development shall cause photographs to be made of such nuisance and shall file and keep in his or her office such photographs along with the reports of the Building Inspector, Fire Chief and County Health Official pertaining to the public nuisance. The Building Inspector shall then determine the individual, firm or corporation who, from the records in the County Auditor’s office, 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 by the aforesaid methods, then the Building Inspector shall cause a copy of the aforesaid notice to be 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 or she shall cause a copy of the notice to be posted on the premises.
(b) The notice required by division (a) above shall state, in brief, the findings with respect to the existence of the public nuisance by the Building Inspector and the concurrence of either the Fire Chief or County Health Official. The notice shall further state that unless the owner causes the nuisance to be abated within 30 days after service of the notice, the nuisance shall be abated by the city at the expense of the owner.
