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 that harbor illegal activity. The abatements are accomplished by board -ups and /or demolition. Property owners are given 2 to 30 days depending on the severity of the hazardous conditions to abate the situation or the City, through its contractors, will perform the work. 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 charge for work performed on six parcels is $12,598.21 (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, 2014. FISCAL IMPACT The recovered charge will result in an estimated $12,598.21 in the Special Repair and Demolition Fund account (no. 12115002-53507).
