Sec. 22-604. Notice of violations.
(a) Whenever the inspector has issued a summons and complaint for a violation of any provision of this article, he or she may give additional notice of such alleged violation to the person responsible as follows. Such notice shall:
(1) Be in writing.
(2) Include a statement of the reason why it is being issued.
(3) Indicate a date, not less than seven days nor more than 120 days, by which the violation shall be corrected.
(4) Be served upon the owner, occupant, representative or person in possession, and if such person cannot be found for personal service, the service shall be deemed complete when a copy is sent by accountable mail to the last known address of the last known owner of the property, such address and such owner being those appearing on the real property assessment for general (ad valorem) taxes in the appropriate county.
(b) If one or more persons to whom the notice is addressed cannot be found or served after diligent efforts to do so, service may be made upon such person by posting a notice in a conspicuous place in or about the property affected by the notice, in which event the inspector shall include in the record a statement as to why such posting is necessary.
(c) If corrective action cannot be completed within the time set forth by the notice, the violator shall make a request in writing to the issuing inspector for a reasonable extension of such completion date; such request shall contain compelling reasons based upon good cause why such extension should be granted.
