declared to be in an unsafe condition, the building official shall issue a

notice of the unsafe condition to the owner of record describing the building

or structure deemed unsafe, and an order either requiring that the building,

sign, or structure be made safe or be demolished within a reasonable,

stipulated time. All notices and orders shall be in writing and shall be

delivered to the owners of the building by the building official or his or her

designated agent or shall be sent by registered or certified mail to the last

known address of the owner or owners. Orders to demolish any building, a sign,

or structure shall also be issued to all mortgagees of record. If any owner or

mortgagee cannot be located after due and diligent search, the notice and order

shall be posted upon a conspicuous part of the building or structure, and the

procedure shall be deemed the equivalent of personal notice. When a building or

structure is ordered secured for any reason by the building official, the owner
