    Particularize the violations alleged to exist or to have been committed;

    Provide a reasonable time for the correction of the violation particularized;

    4.

    Be addressed to and served upon the owner or the operator of the building, or the occupant of the dwelling unit or rooming unit concerned if the occupant is or may be responsible for the violations; provided that such notice shall be deemed to be properly served upon such owner, operator or occupant if a copy thereof is served upon him personally or if a copy thereof is sent by certified mail to his last known address. If the notice cannot be conveniently served by the aforesaid, service of the notice may be made upon such person or persons by posting the notice in a conspicuous place in or about the dwelling affected by the notice; in which event the superintendent of central inspection shall make a statement for inclusion in the record as to why such posting was necessary. Such notice may contain an outline of remedial action which if taken, will effect correction of the particularized alleged violations.

    Any notice served pursuant to this section, shall become an order if a written petition for a hearing is not filed in the office of the superintendent of central inspection within ten days after such notice is served.
