Under Sanitation Code, how can a municipality provide notice of a violation if personal service cannot be obtained?

In situations where personal service cannot be obtained, municipalities have specific procedures in place to ensure that property owners are adequately notified of any violations. Publishing notice in a local newspaper and posting it on the property is an established method for providing notice of violations under the Sanitation Code. This approach serves to reach a broader audience within the community, ensuring that the property owner or any interested parties are aware of the violation, as it guarantees visibility.

The act of posting on the property itself is significant, as it directly places the information in a location where the owner or residents are likely to see it. Meanwhile, publishing the notice in a local paper ensures that there is a documented public record of the violation, thus fulfilling legal notification requirements even if direct contact with the owner is not possible. This method is particularly important because it balances the need for accountability with the practicalities of ensuring that due process is upheld for property owners.
