Upon such notification, the owner shall immediately notify the occupants of the building of any unsafe condition by affixing a notice describing each unsafe condition in a conspicuous location in the lobby area of the building which notice shall remain until each unsafe condition is corrected.  Notice to occupants shall also be given in at least one additional manner as shall be established by the commissioner by rule.
