(a) Whenever the Building Commissioner finds any dwelling structure or premises, or any part thereof, to be in violation of the provisions of this Housing Code, the Building Commissioner shall give or cause to be given or mailed to the owner, agent or operator of such structure or premises a written notice stating the violations therein. Such notice shall order the owner, agent or operator, within a stated reasonable time, but not less than ten days, to repair, improve, or demolish the structure or premises concerned. Such delivery or mailing shall be deemed legal service of notice.
(b) If the person to whom a notice of violation is addressed cannot be found within the County after reasonable and diligent search, then notice shall be sent by registered or certified mail to the last known address of such person, and a copy of such notice shall be posted in a conspicuous place on the structure or premises to which it relates. Such mailing and posting shall be deemed legal service of notice.
