Order to demolish
Operative Text
Whenever a notice of violation as provided in § 82-22 of this chapter has not been complied with, the Building Inspector may order the building demolished. Such order shall be served as provided in § 82-29 of this chapter and demolition shall be completed within the time specified by the Building Inspector.
Section 82-23 of Manorhaven's Code of Ordinances establishes that when a property owner fails to comply with a notice of violation issued under § 82-22, the Building Inspector is authorized to order the building demolished. The demolition order must be served according to the procedures set out in § 82-29, and the work must be completed within the timeframe the Building Inspector specifies. This provision gives the municipality a significant enforcement tool beyond simple fines or repairs.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 82-23, a failure to address a notice of violation issued under § 82-22 can escalate to a formal demolition order issued by the Building Inspector. Operators who receive a § 82-22 notice generally act promptly to bring the property into compliance before the Building Inspector exercises this authority. Keeping records of all corrective actions taken in response to any violation notice is a practice commonly associated with demonstrating compliance.

Section 82-23 means that a building where a landlord has ignored a prior violation notice under § 82-22 may ultimately be subject to a demolition order from the Building Inspector. Tenants living in a building that has received such notices may want to monitor the status of any outstanding violations through the local Building Inspector's office. Tenant-rights organizations can help residents understand what options may be available if a demolition order is issued for their home.
