Freeburg — Ch. 29 Property Maintenance Policy § 29-1-33
LIFTING CONDEMNATION NOTICE
Operative Text
The Administrator shall remove the condemnation card whenever the defect or defects upon which the condemnation and posting action were based have been eliminated. Any person who defaces or removes a condemnation card without the approval of the Administrator shall be subject to the penalties provided for herein. Cross reference-- Penalty see § 29-1-63 .
Under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-33, a condemnation notice posted on a property must be officially removed by the Administrator — and only by the Administrator — once the underlying defects that triggered the condemnation have been fully corrected. The notice cannot lawfully be taken down or defaced by anyone else without the Administrator's authorization. Unauthorized removal or defacement of the condemnation card exposes the responsible party to the penalties set out in § 29-1-63.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Property owners and managers operating under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-33 generally ensure that all cited defects are fully remediated before requesting the Administrator's review for removal of a condemnation card. Compliant operators do not remove or alter the posted card themselves — they wait for the Administrator to officially lift it. Keeping documentation of completed repairs can support a timely review and help demonstrate that the conditions underlying the condemnation have been resolved.

Under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-33, a condemnation card posted on a property may only be removed by the Administrator after the defects that caused the condemnation are corrected — not by the landlord or any other unauthorized party. If a tenant observes that a condemnation card has been removed or defaced without apparent Administrator approval, that may constitute a violation subject to penalties under § 29-1-63. Tenants who have questions about the status of a condemnation or their rights in a condemned property may wish to contact the local housing authority or a tenant-rights organization for general guidance.
