In the event that a code violation exists and no violator is known or can be located for notice and service, the Code Enforcement Officer shall utilize the following substitute service procedure:

A. Notice to Clerk. Upon determining that the perpetrator of a code violation is unknown or such party(ies)’ location is unknown, the Code Enforcement Officer shall file with the Clerk a declaration for substituted service not less than 10 days prior to issuance of an abatement order (unless an emergency situation exists (cf. SCC 1.17.100)). Such declaration shall specify the code violation, the property, if any, upon which the violation is occurring, the proposed order and the date upon which the order is to be effective, which date shall be at least the number of days after the date of the declaration in order to comply with the terms of this section. Upon receipt of the declaration, the Clerk shall cause a copy of the declaration and the abatement order to be published at least 10 days prior to the effective date of the order. Further, the Clerk shall cause any property upon which the code violation exists to be posted with the declaration and the abatement order and shall send a copy of the foregoing to the code violation perpetrator’s last known address, if any. Upon completion of the foregoing, the Clerk shall file a declaration stating the actions taken by the Clerk pursuant to this section. (Ord. 775, eff. 9/19/91)
