When a condemnation order is served on a tenant,
the tenant shall be given a reasonable time to vacate the structure,
except that where there is an imminent threat to health and safety
due to unsafe conditions, the occupants of the building will be required
to vacate immediately.
A property owner who has received a compliance
order or upon whom a notice of violation has been served may not sell,
transfer, mortgage, lease, or otherwise dispose of the premises until:
A. The provisions of the compliance order or notice of
violation have been complied with; or
B. The property owner shall first furnish the grantee,
transferee, mortgagee, or lessee a true copy of the compliance order
or notice of violation issued by the code official and shall furnish
to the code official a signed and notarized statement from the grantee,
transferee, mortgagee, or lessee in which he or she acknowledges the
receipt of the compliance order or notice of violation and states
that he or she fully accepts and assumes the responsibility without
condition for making the corrections or repairs required by the compliance
order or notice of violation.
No individual may deface or remove a condemnation
placard without the approval of the code official.
