(a) When the agency investigates and issues an order pursuant to Section 18-22 , or provides notice that a fee is due, inspection must be scheduled or another action is required such order or notice shall be sent to the owner of the dwelling or dwelling unit, or to the agent, administrator or executor of the owner, by regular mail to the address of the owner provided on the registration application. If the owner has failed to register the rental unit or where the agency determines that the nature of the violations requires immediate service, notice shall be made by posting a copy of the order or notice in a conspicuous place of the dwelling or in the building in which the dwelling unit is located. Orders shall take effect from the date of posting or within three (3) days of the date the letter was mailed to the owner, whichever is earliest. In the case of those instances where occupant or owner or other responsible party is in violation of standards relating to maintenance or services such as heating, sanitation, fire safety or extermination, or where the responsible party is failing to maintain or perform an obligatory activity, the agency may issue an immediate order by hand delivery or by posting with mailed delivery to follow. The agency may send a copy of the order or otherwise notify the owner (if the occupant is the party responsible for the violation) or the occupant (if the owner is the party responsible for the violation) requesting that the owner and occupant cooperate with the agency to correct the violation.
