The service of such orders as mentioned in Sections 1507.09 and 1507.12 made upon the owner, occupant or other person responsible for the conditions shall be made either by delivering the same to and leaving it with any person in charge of the premises, or in case no such person is found upon the premises, by affixing a copy thereof in a conspicuous place on the door to the entrance of the premises. Whenever it may be necessary to serve such an order upon the owner of the premises such order may be served either by delivering to and leaving with such person a copy of the order, or, if such owner is absent from the jurisdiction of the officers making the order, by mailing such copy to the owner's last known post office address.
If buildings or other premises are owned by one person and occupied by another under lease or otherwise, the orders issued in connection with the enforcing of this section shall apply to the occupant above, except where the rules or orders require the making of additions to or changes in the premises themselves, such as would immediately become real estate and be the property of the owner of the premises; in such cases the rules or orders shall affect the owner and not the occupant unless it is otherwise agreed between the owner and the occupant.
Any such order shall forthwith be complied with by the owner or occupant of such premises or building. If such order is made by the Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention or one of the inspectors, such owner or occupant may within twenty-four hours appeal to the Chief of the Fire Department, who shall within five days, review such order and file his decision thereon, and unless by his authority the order is revoked or modified it shall remain in full force and be complied with within the time fixed in such order or decision of the Chief of the Fire Department.
Provided, however, that any such owner or occupant may, within five days after the making or affirming of any such order by the Chief of the Fire Department, file his petition with Council, praying a review of such order and it shall be the duty of Council to hear the same within not less than thirty days from the time the petition is filed, and to make such order in the premises as right and justice may require and such decision shall be final.
