Sixty days or more after the date on which two or more installments of any local improvement assessment become delinquent, or if the final installment thereof has been delinquent for more than one year, the city may commence an action in superior court to foreclose on the delinquent assessment or delinquent installments.
B. 
Thirty days before commencement of the proceedings, the finance director shall notify by certified mail the persons whose names appear on the assessment roll as owners of the property charged with the delinquent assessments or installments, at the address last known to the finance director. If the tax rolls of the county in which the property is located lists different persons as the owners of the property or the address shown for the owners differs from that appearing on the assessment roll, then the finance director shall also mail a copy of the notice to that person or that address.
