It is the policy of the city that boarding is a temporary solution to prevent unauthorized entry into a vacant building and that boarded buildings are a public nuisance. A vacant building may not remain boarded longer than three months unless an extension of that time is part of a plan approved by the Building Commissioner. A vacant building which is unboarded and code compliant and for which boarding is determined by the Building Commissioner on the basis of police reports, citizen complaints and other information of other type considered reliable by reasonable persons, to not require boarding to prevent unauthorized entry may not remain vacant for more than two years without an approved plan for occupancy, sale, demolition or other disposition of the building.
