(A) Contents. The order must be in writing; recite the grounds; specify the necessary repairs, if any; provide a reasonable time for compliance; and state that a motion for summary enforcement of the order will be made to County District Court unless corrective action is taken or unless an answer is filed within the time specified pursuant to § 150.066.
(B) Service. The order must be served upon the owner of record or the owner’s agent, if an agent is in charge of the building or property, and upon the occupying tenant, if there is one, and upon all lien holders of record, in the manner provided for service of a summons in a civil action. If the owner cannot be found, the order must be served upon the owner by posting it at the main entrance to the building or, if there is no building, in a conspicuous place on the property, and by four weeks’ publication in the official newspaper.
(C) Filing. A copy of the order with proof of service must be filed with the County Court Administrator not less than five days prior to the filing of a motion pursuant to § 150.067 to enforce the order. At the time of filing such order, the city shall file for record a notice of the pendency of the proceeding with the County Recorder or Registrar of Titles, describing with reasonable certainty, the lands affected and the nature of the order. If the proceeding is abandoned, within ten days the city must file a notice with the County Recorder to that effect.
