(a) Upon receipt of information of violation(s) of Section 1361.02, the Health Commissioner or his/her designee shall issue a written Notice of Violation to the owner, lessee, agent or tenant having charge of, or responsibility for, the maintenance of such lots, lands or premises. Such Notice shall state that the solid waste must be collected and removed within seven days after service of the notice. The Notice shall be served by delivering it personally to such person or by sending it by certified mail, return receipt requested, to such person addressed to his or her usual place of residence or to the address listed in the Crawford County tax records. If such Notice is sent by certified mail, and such service has been refused or is unclaimed by the addressee, said Notice may then be served by sending it by regular U.S. Mail. If the address of the owner, lessee, agent or tenant having charge of, or responsibility for, the maintenance of such lots, lands, or premises is unknown, it is sufficient to publish the Notice once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City.
(b) Every Notice to remove the solid waste and abate the nuisance shall state that if the Notice is not complied with within the time limit provided therein, in addition to the penalty provided in Section 1361.99, any and all costs incurred by the City in the removal of solid waste and the abatement of the nuisance shall be entered upon the tax duplicate and shall be a lien upon such lands.
(c) When a written Notice of Violation has been issued in accordance with the provisions of this section, such Notice shall constitute adequate and effective notice for all enforcement purposes under this chapter with respect to continuing or repeat violations of Section 1361.02 for a period of one year following the date such initial Notice was served.
