(A) Whenever the PMO determines upon inspection or investigation that there has been a violation of any provision of this PMC, except Sections 155.021(B), 155.060 through 155.063, and except where a de minimus violation notice has been issued pursuant to Section 155.024, he shall give notice with reasonable promptness of such violation to the person responsible therefor and order compliance with the PMC as hereinafter provided. Such notice and order shall:
(1) Be in writing;
(2) Include a list of violations describing the nature with particularity and refer to the provision or section of this PMC violated;
(3) Order remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this PMC, and specify a reasonable time for performance of the order or abatement of the violation;
(4) Advise the owner, operator or occupant of the procedure for appeal, except emergency orders issued pursuant to Section 155.027;
(5) Be served on the owner, operator, occupant or agent in person. However, such notice and order shall be deemed to be properly served upon the owner, operator, occupant or agent if a copy thereof is sent by registered or certified mail to his last known mailing address, residence or place of business, and a copy is posted in a conspicuous place in or on the building, structure or premises affected. If a registered or certified mail envelope is returned with an endorsement showing that service was refused, the notice may be served by ordinary mail to his last known mailing address, residence or place of business. The mailing shall be evidenced by a certificate of mailing, and service shall be deemed complete on the date of mailing. If the registered or certified mail envelope is returned with an endorsement showing that service was unclaimed, the notice may be served by ordinary mail to his last known mailing address, residence or place of business. The mailing shall be evidenced by a certificate of mailing, and service shall be deemed complete on the date of mailing, provided that the ordinary mail envelope is not returned by the postal authorities with an endorsement showing failure of delivery.
(a) The notice and order may, in the alternative, be served by leaving it at his last known residence or place of business in the presence of a family member or other responsible person of suitable age and discretion who shall be informed of the general nature of the contents thereof.
(b) If service is not accomplished by any of the above means, then a notification of the existence of the notice and order may be published at least once in a local newspaper of general circulation in the City.
