DISCUSSION
The City's Dangerous and Abandoned Building Program has proven to be an
effective tool to abate dangerous and abandoned structures that create an
attractive nuisance for children and provide harborage for illegal
activity. The abatements are accomplished by board-ups and/or demolition.
Property owners are given 2 to 30 days to abate the conditions or the
City, through its contractors, will perform the work. The property owner
is then notified of the outstanding abatement costs every 30 days until
the Planning and Building Agency is reimbursed for the expenditure.
Each year, the City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to
recover the uncollected costs expended for abatement of dangerous and
abandoned properties. This year the outstanding charges for work
performed on three parcels is $1,264.24 (Exhibit 1). The property owner
names are provided in Exhibit 2. The most effective method of collection
is to submit these charges to the office of the County Auditor/Controller
in order that they may be placed as a lien on the property tax rolls.
Charges must be submitted to the County by their deadline of August 10,
2005.
