Freeburg — Ch. 29 Property Maintenance Policy § 29-1-4
CONDEMNATION OF STRUCTURES
Operative Text
(A) When any structure or part thereof is determined by the Administrator to be unsafe, or when a structure or part thereof is found unfit for human occupancy or use, or is found to be unlawful, it may be condemned pursuant to the provisions of this Code and shall be posted with appropriate notice and vacated. (B) It shall not be reoccupied without approval of the Administrator. Unsafe equipment located within a structure shall also be posted with appropriate notice and placed out of service upon posting.
Under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-4, the Administrator has authority to condemn structures or portions of structures that are found to be unsafe, unfit for human occupancy, or otherwise unlawful. Once condemned, the structure must be posted with official notice and vacated. No one may return to or reoccupy the structure until the Administrator grants explicit approval, and any unsafe equipment inside is also taken out of service at the time of posting.

Property owners and managers subject to Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-4 should be aware that the Administrator can condemn and order vacation of any structure—or part of one—deemed unsafe, unfit, or unlawful. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in a condition that avoids triggering such a determination, promptly address any cited deficiencies, and obtain formal Administrator approval before allowing reoccupancy of any condemned space. Unsafe equipment within a condemned structure must also be taken out of service upon posting, so operators typically ensure all equipment is kept in safe working order as part of routine maintenance.

Under Freeburg Ch. 29 § 29-1-4, tenants have a right to be protected from occupying structures that the Administrator has determined to be unsafe, unfit, or unlawful, as such structures must be posted and vacated. If you are living in a property that has been condemned or posted under this provision, reoccupancy is not permitted until the Administrator formally approves it. Tenants who believe their housing may be unsafe or subject to condemnation can document conditions, contact the Freeburg Administrator's office to inquire about the status of the property, or reach out to a local tenant-rights organization for general guidance on available options.
