(A) If, upon inspection, a building is determined to be a dangerous building, then the Building Inspector shall serve written notice on all owners of the property either by personal service or by certified mail, return receipt requested. This notice shall also set forth:
(1) The address or other adequate description of the property;
(2) The specific conditions that render the building a dangerous building;
(3) A statement that the city may order vacation, repair or demolition of the dangerous building after a hearing;
(4) The day, time and location of the hearing;
(5) All persons having an interest in the property may appear in person, may be represented by an attorney, and may present testimony and cross-examine all witnesses; and
(6) The owner, lien holder or mortgagee will be required to submit at the hearing proof of the scope of any work that may be required to comply with this section, and the time it will take to reasonably perform the work.
(B) If the address of any person having an interest in the property is unknown, or if notice to any person having interest in the property is returned undelivered, a copy of such notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the property on which the building is located. The posting of such notice shall constitute notice to any person having an interest in the property who does not receive personal notice or notice by mail.
(C) The city may also file notice of the hearing in the real property records of the county in which the property is located. The notice must contain the name and address of the owner of the affected property if that information can be determined, a legal description of the affected property, and a description of the hearing. The filing of the notice is binding on subsequent grantees, lien holders or other transferees of an interest in the property who acquire such interest after the filing of the notice, and constitutes notice of the hearing on any subsequent recipient of any interest in the property who acquires such interest after the filing of the notice.
