If one (1) or more persons to whom such notice is addressed cannot be found after diligent effort to do so, service may be made upon such person or persons by posting a notice in or about the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or rooming house described in the notice or by causing such notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation for a period of three (3) consecutive days.
12.02 At the end of the period of time allowed for the correction of any violation alleged, the Enforcement Officer shall reinspect the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or premises described in the notice.
12.03 If upon reinspection the violations alleged are determined by the Enforcement Officer not to have been corrected, a second notice of violation shall be issued which shall constitute an order requiring that the then existing failures to meet the requirements of this Ordinance or of applicable existing rules or regulations issued pursuant thereto, shall be corrected within a reasonable time allowed, but not to exceed thirty (30) days after the date of such reinspection, provided the person served with such notice does not request a reconsideration or petition for a hearing on the matter in the manner hereinafter provided.
12.04 The Enforcement Officer shall cause a copy of the second notice to be posted in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit or rooming house where the violations are alleged to exist, and shall serve it in the manner provided in Subsections 12.01.01 through 12.01.05 of this ordinance.
12.05 The Enforcement Officer, after the failure of the person served with such second notice to comply before the expiration of time granted or to seek reconsideration or a hearing in the manner hereinafter provided by this ordinance, or after a final decision adverse to such person served has been rendered by the Code Enforcement Committee or by a court of competent jurisdiction to which an appeal has been taken, shall cause the second notice to be recorded in the Office of the Town Clerk of the Town of East Haven.
12.06 All subsequent transferees of the dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit, rooming house or premises in connection with which a second notice has been so recorded shall be deemed to have notice of the continuing existence of the violations alleged, and shall be liable to all penalties and procedures provided by this ordinance and by applicable rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto to the same degree as was their transferor.
12.07 Whenever, in the judgement of the Enforcement Officer, an emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public health, safety, or welfare, an order may be issued, without notice, conference or hearing, directing the owner, occupant, operator or agent to take such action as is appropriate to correct or abate the emergency. If circumstances warrant, the Enforcement Officer may act to correct or abate the emergency. 12.07.01 The owner, occupant, operator or agent shall be granted a conference on the matter upon his request, as soon as practicable, but such conference shall in no case stay the abatement or correction of such emergency.
