reason whereof it is necessary to make the repairs immediately.
Upon the adoption of the resolution, notice shall be given to the
owner or occupant of the property directing him to make the repairs
within three (3) days after the service of the notice. If the owner
or occupant cannot be found, the notice may be served by posting a
copy of the notice upon the lot or parcel or real property abutting
