Sec. 4-93. - Notice of violation generally.

Whenever the chief inspector determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there is a violation of any provision of this article or of any rule or regulation adopted pursuant thereto, he shall give notice of such alleged violation to the person responsible therefor as hereinafter provided. Such notice shall be in writing, shall set forth the alleged violation, shall describe the nonresidential structure, dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit where the violations are alleged to exist or to have been committed and a reasonable time to correct it and shall be served upon the owner, operator or occupant, as the case may require. Such notice of violation shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner, operator or occupant if a copy thereof is served upon him personally, if a copy thereof is sent by registered mail or certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of such person. If one or more persons to whom the notice is addressed cannot be found after diligent effort to do so, service may be made upon the person or persons by posting a notice in or about the nonresidential structure, dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit described in the notice, or by causing the notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation, for a period of three consecutive days.
