Whenever the Street Superintendent shall deem it necessary that any sidewalk shall be repaired, or it shall be required by the City Council, the Committee on Streets and Walks or the Street Superintendent, the owner of the lot or piece of land along and contiguous to which such sidewalk is situated shall be notified to repair the same within two weeks from and after the giving of such notice. Oral notice to the owner shall be deemed sufficient. If the owner is not found by the Street Superintendent, then a written notice left in the house situated on such lot or piece of ground, or posted upon said premises, shall be sufficient and the two weeks shall begin to run from the leaving or posting of such notice as the case may be.
