(A) It is the purpose of this chapter to provide a just, equitable and practicable method by which:
(1) Buildings or structures, which irrespective of cause endanger the life, limb, health, morals, property, safety or welfare of the general public, or their occupants, may be required to be repaired, vacated or demolished; and
(2) Provisions are made to protect buildings or structures from vandalism, burglary, or other unlawful acts.
This chapter is based upon the 1994 Edition of the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings and meant to be cumulative with and in addition to any other remedy provided by the building or housing codes or otherwise available at law.
(B) These provisions shall apply to all dangerous buildings as defined in § 95B.104 which are now in existence or which may hereafter become dangerous.
