(2) Post the premises as unsafe, substandard or dangerous;
(3) Board, fence or secure the building or site;
(4) Raze and grade that portion of the building or site to prevent further collapse and remove any hazard to the general public;
(5) Make any minimal emergency repairs as necessary to eliminate any imminent life safety hazard; and
(6) Take any other action as appropriate under the circumstances.
