The notice of hearing provided for by this section shall be given not less than 15 days prior to the time of hearing; provided, that whenever the owner, lessee, occupant, or mortgagee of record of the building or structure involved is a nonresident of the city or cannot be found, then the Housing Administrator or his or her authorized Administrator shall publish, in the official newspaper of the county, a notice for two consecutive weeks, the last publication to be at least one week prior to the date of the hearing. Service of every such notice shall be checked by the Law Department for legal sufficiency. If, for any reason, the service of notice shall be determined to be insufficient, illegal, or defective, then such hearing shall be continued by the Housing Administrator or his or her authorized Administrator for a period not to exceed ten days from the date of such determination, and the Housing Administrator or his or her authorized Administrator shall promptly cause proper notice to be given to those not properly notified. Notice of the date to which the hearing has been continued may be given by mail to those already properly notified.
