In the US, the County Health Department and /or the Fire Department, or any Safety Official, can declare a property (house) unsafe for human habitation or human occupation (such as a business property). The unsafe declaration can be because there are:
- structural safety issues, such as due to age or fire
- electrical safety issues
- no operable utilities
- no operable toilet
- fire risk
- health hazard, such as a hoarder's home with animal feces covering the floors
- any other health or safety risk(s)
They post an official sign on all doors to the building / house, to make it a public notice. They can order that all windows and doors are boarded up to prevent trespass. They can do any measures they deem necessary to keep people safe.
They can also declare the property (land) unsafe because of hazards located on it. Some hazards could be:
- a yard filled with junk
- a yard with junk that attracts insect infestations, like cockroaches
- a yard with garbage that attracts rodents, a public health risk
- ground with holes
- an uncovered old water well
- any ground collapse or a sinkhole

For what reasons is a house condemned?
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.There is another legal meaning for condemnation associated with eminent domain. A whole neighborhood can be condemned through that process to make way for urban renewal. That type of condemnation converts private property to public use. In the mid-twentieth century huge tracts of land were condemned to build military bases.
