This notice shall:

Describe the dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit where the violations are alleged to exist or to have been committed.

E. 
Be served in one of the following ways:
(1) 
Upon the owner, occupant, operator or agent of the dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit personally or by registered mail, return receipt requested, addressed to the last known place of residence of the owner, occupant, operator or agent. If one 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 or rooming unit described in the notice or by causing such notice to be published in a newspaper of general circulation for a period of three consecutive days;
(2) 
Upon a resident agent for the receipt of such service of notice designated pursuant to § 86-72; or
(3) 
Upon the Health Officer where he has been designated agent for such service pursuant to § 86-71.
At the end of the period of time allowed for the correction of any violation alleged, the Health Officer shall reinspect the dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit described in the notice.
If upon reinspection the violations alleged are determined by the Health Officer not to have been corrected, he shall issue a second notice of violation, which shall constitute an order requiring that the then-existing failures to meet the requirements of this chapter or of applicable existing rules or regulations issued pursuant thereto shall be corrected within a reasonable time allowed, but not to exceed 60 days after the date of such reinspection, if the person served with such notice does not request a reconsideration or petition for a hearing on the matter in the manner hereinafter provided.
The Health Officer shall cause a copy of the second notice to be posted in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit where the violations are alleged to exist, and shall serve it in the manner provided in § 86-81A through E.
The Health Officer, after the expiration of the time granted the person served with such second notice to seek reconsideration or a hearing in the manner hereinafter provided by this chapter, or after a final decision adverse to such person served has been rendered by the District Justice 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 County Recorder of Deeds.
All subsequent transferees of the dwelling, dwelling unit or rooming unit 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 chapter and by applicable rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto to the same degree as was their transferor.
