(A) The service of orders for the correction of violations of this chapter shall be made upon the owner, occupant or other person responsible for the conditions, either by delivering a copy of same to the person or by delivering the same to and leaving it with any person in charge of the premises, or in case no such person is found on the premises, by affixing a copy thereof in a conspicuous place on the door to the entrance of the premises. Whenever it may be necessary to serve such an order upon the owner of premises, the order may be served either by delivering to and leaving with the person a copy of the order, or if the owner is absent from the jurisdiction of the officer making the order, by sending the copy by certified or registered mail to the owner’s last-known post office address.
(B) If buildings or other premises are owned by one person and occupied by another under lease or otherwise, the orders issued in connection with the enforcing of this chapter shall apply to the occupants thereof, except where the rules or orders require the making of additions to or changes in the premises themselves, as would immediately become real estate and be the property of the owner of the premises; in that cases the rules or orders shall apply to the owner and not the occupant unless it is otherwise agreed between the owner and the occupant.
