§ 5-171. Posting and service of notices.

(a)

When any order or notice is issued pursuant to the provisions of this article to any person who cannot be found after a reasonable search, such order or notice may be served by posting it in a conspicuous place upon the premises occupied by him or upon the premises where the defects are alleged to exist. Such posting of the notice shall be considered equivalent to personal service of such order or notice. An order sent by mail in a sealed envelope with postage prepaid and directed to the address of the electrical contractor, owner, lessee or occupant of the premises shall be equivalent to personal service of such order.

(b)

The electrical inspector is hereby empowered to attach to the nearest electrical cabinet or equipment feeding defective or hazardous wiring any official notice or seal to prevent use of electricity in that area, and it shall be unlawful for any other person to place or attach such seal, or to break, change, destroy, tear, mutilate, cover or otherwise deface or injure any such official notice or seal posted by the electrical inspector.
