Generally, the building inspector makes a determination, pursuant to a request by the Board of Health, that the structure is unsafe and unfit for habitation. The property is emptied of any dwellers and secured. The owner is required to file a plan to repair the violations or if the condition is too deteriorated, to arrange a demolition. If the owner fails to respond, the city can obtain a court order, arrange the demolition and the place a lien on the real estate for its demolition costs, court costs and fines.
