§ 78-34. Notice of failure to maintain cleanliness of property.

(a)

If a code inspector finds a violation of this article, the code inspector shall notify the property owner, occupant or tenant of the violation and provide 24 hours or such other reasonable time to correct or cure the violation after serving the notice. The notice shall advise the alleged violator that the failure to correct or cure the violation within the compliance date provided in the notice may result in the city imposing an assessment of its costs and expenses to correct or cure the violation.

(b)

The code inspector shall give notice to the property owner at the last known mailing address, as disclosed by the Miami-Dade County tax rolls, or upon any occupant thereof or upon any agent or employee of the owner thereof. If the address of the property owner is unknown to the city, the posting of a notice upon such property by the code inspector shall constitute and be sufficient notice to the owner thereof. All methods of providing notice as provided for in this section are cumulative and independent of the other, and the code inspector may use one or all method[s] of service within the inspector's discretion.
