Agreements for Board Up Services June 16, 2015 Page 2 as defined in the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings are declared to be public nuisances and shall be abated by repair, rehabilitation, demolition or removal. As a result, when an inspection reveals a hazardous condition, the inspector issues the property owner a Notice and Order to correct the conditions within a short specified time period. In cases where the owner does not remedy the hazardous conditions within the timeframe identified on the Notice and Order, the City may hire a contractor to complete the work to secure the property /building. The owner is then billed for all costs associated with the abatement as well as administrative fees. If the City is not reimbursed by the property owner in a timely manner, the costs are referred to the Orange County Tax Assessor to be recorded as a lien on the property. In addition, criminal action by the City Attorney's Office may be initiated against the property owner. In the current Fiscal Year, Code Enforcement has issued 47 Notice and Orders, of which 20 have required the City to utilize a contractor to secure the property /building as the owner failed to remedy the dangerous or abandoned condition.
