§ 4-38. Order to take corrective action; contents; issuance.
Latest version.
If, upon a hearing held pursuant to the notice prescribed in section 4-37, the inspector shall find that the building or structure is in an unsafe condition
which constitutes a fire or safety hazard or renders it dangerous to life, health
or other property, the inspector shall issue an order in writing, directed to the
owner or owners of such building or structure, directing the owner or owners to remedy
the defective condition by repairing, closing, vacating or demolishing the building
or structure or taking other necessary steps within such a period as the inspector
may prescribe, which period may not be less than sixty (60) days from the service
of the order; provided that, where the inspector finds that there is imminent danger
to life, health or other property, the order may require that corrective action be
taken in such lesser period as may be feasible.
Buildings of historical value may be granted exemption from this section by the board
of adjustment. In granting an exemption the board must make a finding that the building
is a building of historical value to the city, that the owner will repair the damage
on a timely basis, with compliance not to exceed six (6) months, and that the building
will be reconstructed and/or repaired in such a way as to keep the historical character
of the building.
