Property owners and managers operating under Gilberts Title 9, Chapter 6, Article A, Section 9-6A-5 are generally expected to promptly address dangerous conditions on their properties and to repair or remove structures that have sustained significant damage. When a building's damage reaches or exceeds 50 percent of its county-assessed value, compliant operators typically take action rather than allowing the structure to remain. Penalties for non-compliance are governed by Title 1, Chapter 4 of the Gilberts code, so reviewing that chapter alongside this provision gives a fuller picture of potential consequences.
