Latest version.

Whenever, in the opinion of the governing body of the City, any building, fence, shed, awning or structure of any kind or part thereof is liable to fall down and injure persons or property, the governing body may order the owner or agent of the same, or occupant of the premises, to take down and remove the same within such time as it may direct, and may punish by fine all persons failing so to do. Upon failure to comply, the governing body shall have the additional power to remove the same at the expense of the City on account of the owner of the property and assess the expenses thereof, including condemnation proceedings, as a special tax against the land, and the same may be collected as other special taxes provided for in this Charter, or by suit in any court of competent jurisdiction.

The governing body of the City shall have full power to condemn all dangerous buildings or obstructions of any kind and may provide regulations therefor by Ordinance.
