§ 505.070. Standards For Repair, Vacation Or Demolition.

A. 

The following standards shall be followed in substance by the Building Inspector and/or the Hearing Board in ordering the repair, vacation, or demolition of any dangerous building:

1. 

Vacation. If the dangerous building is in such condition as to make it dangerous to the health, morals, safety or general welfare of the public or the occupants, it shall be ordered vacated.

2. 

Repair — With Or Without Closing And/Or Vacation. If it is reasonably feasible to repair the dangerous building so that it will no longer exist in violation of the terms of this Chapter, it may be ordered repaired; and if reasonably necessary, vacated during repair. An order to repair may include a 'boarding' requirement — to close and secure any exterior openings.

3. 

Demolition. In any case where a dangerous building is damaged, decayed or deteriorated to a degree that it is not reasonably feasible to rehabilitate such building or the building will not be structurally safe, the building or any portion thereof shall be ordered demolished. An order to demolish may include a requirement to vacate and to close, and 'boarding' — to close and secure exterior openings until demolition commences.

4. 

No Action. If the evidence does not support a finding that the building is a dangerous building, no order shall be issued.
