(A) Within 10 days after the event, the Building Official must notify the State Historic Preservation Officer that one of the following actions will be taken regarding any historic building or structure deter-mined by the Building Official to represent an imminent hazard to the health or safety of the public, or to pose an imminent threat to the public right-of-way:
(1) Whenever possible, as determined by the Building Official, the building or structure may be braced or shored in such a manner as to mitigate the hazard to public health or safety or the hazard to the public right-of-way.
(2) Whenever bracing or shoring is determined to be an unreasonable alternative, the Building Official may cause the building or structure to be condemned and immediately demolished. Such condemnation and demolition may be performed in the interest of public health or safety without a condemnation hearing as required by § 150.075 of this code.
(B) If, ten days after the event and less than 30 days after the event, an historic building or structure is determined by the Building Official to represent a hazard to the health or safety of the public or to pose a threat to the public right-of-way, the Building Official may initiate condemnation proceedings in accordance with § 150.075 of this code. The Building Official may also notify the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1986, being 16 USC 470 et seq., as amended, of its intent to hold a condemnation hearing.
(C) If the Building Official and the owner of any historic building or structure agree that such a building or structure should be demolished, the Building Official may submit a request to demolish to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, in accordance with the National Historic Preservation Act of 1986, being 16 USC 470 et seq., as amended. Said request must include all substantiating data.
