Given its ordinary and usual meaning, the first sentence of section 17980.6 plainly contemplates that, where, as here, a residential building is maintained in a manner that violates local ordinance provisions similar to statutory and regulatory residential building standards, and the violations are so extensive that they substantially endanger public health and safety, a local enforcement agency such as the City may issue an order or notice demanding that the property owner correct the violations listed. The second sentence of section 17980.6 provides that copies of the order or notice (hereafter sometimes the notice to repair) “shall be” posted in a conspicuous place on the property and either (1) served by first-class mail to each affected residential unit; or (2) posted in a prominent place on each affected residential unit.
