(A) Before the town’s Board of Trustees orders such action, at least ten days’ notice that such unsecured building is to be boarded and secured shall be given by mail to any property owners and mortgage holders as provided in §§ 151.01 through 151.05 of this chapter. At the time of mailing of notice to any property owner or mortgage holder, the town shall obtain a receipt of mailing from the postal service, which receipt shall indicate the date of mailing and the name and address of the mailee. A copy of the notice shall also be posted on the property to be affected. However, if neither the property owner, nor mortgage holder, can be located, notice may be given by posting a copy of the notice on the property or by publication, as defined in 11 O.S. § 1-102. Such notice shall be published one time, not less than ten days prior to any hearing or action by the town pursuant to the provisions of this section.
(B) If the town’s Board of Trustees anticipates summary abatement of a nuisance in accordance with the provisions of § 151.44 of this chapter, the notice shall state: that any subsequent need for boarding and securing the building within a six-month period after the initial boarding and securing of the building pursuant to such notice may be summarily boarded and secured by the town’s Board of Trustees; that the costs of such boarding and securing shall be assessed against the owner; and that a lien may be imposed on the property to secure such payment, all without further prior notice to the property owner or mortgage holder.
