(A) If the owner of any premises in the City is not a resident of Hamilton County, such owner shall designate and file with the PMO, the name, address and telephone number of an agent who is eighteen years of age or older, and who is a resident of Hamilton County or any county abutting Hamilton County, for the purpose of receiving all notices of inspection, orders or otherwise from the City relative to such premises. The owner shall also notify the PMO of any change in the name, address or telephone number of the designated agent. It shall be the sole responsibility of the owner to appoint the agent and notify the PMO. Failure to do so shall not be a defense to violation of this requirement. Service of notice upon such resident agent shall be deemed to be service of notice upon the owner. No agent shall fail or refuse to accept service of a notice, violation or process during the term of his agency. Any such notice shall also be sent by registered or certified mail to the last known address of the owner.
(B) Notice may also be posted in a conspicuous place on the building, structure or premises to which it relates. No person shall remove or deface such posted notice without the permission of the PMO.
