List of Dangerous Buildings Dangerous Building Inspection Reports Condemnation Ordinances for Ten (10) Dangerous Buildings Slide Presentation - SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION Summary: City Council is asked to consider condemning and ordering the demolition of ten (10) substandard structures. A City Council Workshop was held on December 16, 1996, to authorize a public hearing to consider these structures. Subsequent to this meeting, as required by Ordinance #1145, a notice was published in the Bayshore Sun. Certifed letters containing public notices were mailed to the owner(s) of the buildings in question. The purpose of this public hearing is to take property owner and citizen comments as to why each of the buildings should or should not be condemned and demolished. Following the close of the hearing, Council will be asked to consider condemnation of the structures. A separate ordinance is required to condemn each of the sturctures. As of the preparation date of this request, all ten (10) structures still exist. However, on January 02, 1997 a demolition permit for the 10,900 Blk. N. L Street was issued to a contractor. The owner has asked him to proceed with the demolition. This structure will remain on the agenda since the demolition and clean-up is not complete. Condemnation ordinances have been prepared for each of the ten (10) structures. One complete ordinance is attached as reference. As the ordinances are all in a standardized form, in the interest of reducing the bulkiness of the agenda packet, only cover pages and inspection reports have been included for the other ordinances. Recommendation: The Dangerous Building Board of Inspection unanimously recommends that all ten (10) of the dangerous buildings be condemned and demolished.
