Consent for any entity may be provided by a partner, officer, agent, member, owner, or other similar individual. Whenever an order or demand of the department is required to be served it shall be served in the manner hereinbefore provided for the service of a notice, by delivering it to any person of suitable age and discretion in charge of the premises affected by such order or demand, or by electronic communication with the consent of the person in accordance with subdivision two of this section, or if no person is found in charge by affixing a copy thereof conspicuously upon the premises.
