If no address is known, or can be identified, by the Code Enforcement Unit, any and all notices, findings and orders required by this Chapter shall be so mailed to such person at the address of the affected Property. The failure of the Owner, Beneficial Owner, Occupier or any other person in charge or control of the affected Property to accept, or otherwise receive, any notice, finding or order required by this Chapter shall not affect the validity of any proceeding initiated hereunder.
