1. 
When the Code Official determines that there exists a violation of any provision of this chapter, he shall give written notice of such violation to the owner or operator. Such written notice shall be served by hand delivery in the form of a field report or a letter sent registered or certified mail to the owner at his last known address. In the event such notice cannot be served by registered or certified mail for any reason, such notice may then be served by posting it in a conspicuous portion of the dwelling and such posting shall be considered good and sufficient notice.
2. 
The notice shall specify the violation which exists and a reasonable time within which to correct it. The notice may also describe a course or remedial action which will affect compliance with this chapter.
3. 
Any person aggrieved by a decision or an action of the Code Official may appeal to the Board of Appeals for a review of the decision in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Board of Appeals. If this appeal is filed within 10 days after giving notice of the decision or action of the Code Official, compliance with a notice of violation shall not be required when the appeal is pending before the Board or before a court, except as provided in Subsection 4 hereof.
4. 
Whenever the Code Official finds that there exists any violation of this chapter which creates an emergency requiring immediate correction to protect the health or safety of any occupancy of a dwelling or the public, it may issue a notice of violation reciting the existence of the emergency and requiring necessary action to be taken immediately. Any person to whom such notice is directed shall comply immediately even though an appeal is taken to the Board. Any person aggrieved by such notice of violation may appeal to the Board as provided in Subsection 3 above. The Board shall give priority to such appeal.
