Cal. Civ. Code § 36-7-9-15
Transfer of money to unsafe building fund
Operative Text
Sec. 15. The board or commission having control over the department may transfer all or part of the money in a building, demolition, repair, and contingent fund that was established by IC 18-5-5-7 (before its repeal on September 1, 1981) to the unsafe building fund. As added by Acts 1981, P.L.309, SEC.28. Amended by P.L.3-1990, SEC.127.
Indiana Code § 36-7-9-15 authorizes a governing board or commission to move money from a legacy building, demolition, repair, and contingent fund—originally created under a statute that was repealed in 1981—into the unsafe building fund. This is an administrative fund-transfer provision, not a rule that directly regulates landlord or tenant conduct. It gives local government bodies discretion over how these particular public dollars are allocated between related municipal accounts.

Ind. Code § 36-7-9-15 is an internal governmental accounting provision that does not impose direct obligations on property owners or managers. However, the unsafe building fund that may receive transferred money is the same fund that can support enforcement actions related to substandard or dangerous structures. Operators of properties subject to unsafe building orders in Indiana should be aware that local enforcement programs may be funded in part through mechanisms like this transfer authority.

Ind. Code § 36-7-9-15 concerns how local government bodies in Indiana may move legacy funds into the unsafe building fund, which can support municipal efforts to address dangerous or substandard housing conditions. Tenants living in properties that have been cited as unsafe may find it relevant that local enforcement programs draw on dedicated public funds like the unsafe building fund. Those with concerns about unsafe conditions in their housing may wish to contact their local code enforcement office or a tenant-rights organization to understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available.
