When the conduct of any registration holder or their agent, representative, employee or lessee, or the condition of their rental dwelling or rental unit is detrimental to the public health, sanitation, safety and general welfare of the community at large, or residents of the rental units so as to constitute a nuisance, fire hazard, or other unsafe or dangerous condition and, thus, give rise to an emergency, the city manager, or his/her designee, shall have the authority to summarily condemn or close off individual rental units or such areas of the rental dwelling as necessary. Notice of summary condemnation shall be posted at the units or areas affected and shall indicate the units or areas affected.
