Title

An ordinance relating to unsafe or vacant noncompliant buildings.

Sections

218-9-1-a-2                     am

Analysis

Currently, the commissioner of neighborhood services may declare a building a nuisance and order the building’s owner to make the building safe or code compliant, or have it razed and removed whenever certain conditions exists.

This ordinance adds one other condition - that the building has been unoccupied and has been secured by the boarding of windows or door openings in whole or part for at least 6 months.

Body

Whereas, Boarded vacant buildings are a blight on the community and harm the image and reputation of a neighborhood, decreasing the economic value of the surrounding property; now, therefore,

The Mayor and Common Council of the City of Milwaukee do ordain as follows:

Part 1. Section 218-9-1-a-2 of the code is amended to read:

218-9. Unsafe or Vacant Noncompliant Buildings.

1.  NUISANCE DECLARATION

a.  Requirements For Declaration.

a-2. The building is unsafe and has been ordered closed, pursuant to s. 200-11, or the building is vacant and has been ordered secured pursuant to s. 275-32-7 or s. 218-4 >> , or the building has been secured by the boarding of one or more window or door openings in whole or in part for at least 6 months and is unoccupied.<<.
