In any instance in which an order requiring that a building be secured has been issued pursuant to § 151.031(C), the City Council’s case file shall remain active for three years from the date of the order even if the owner complies with the order by securing the building. If the Building Inspector receives evidence that the building has not remained secured and is in violation of § 151.037(A)(7), the Building Inspector may request the City Council to reconvene the hearing. Upon notice of the unsecured condition of the building to the owner or owners of the property, the City Council shall reconvene the hearing. If the City Council finds that the building remains a dangerous building notwithstanding the owner’s efforts to secure it, the City Council may issue a revised order that the building be demolished. An order of the City Council ordering the securing of the building shall not be released until the owner requests a release, and the Building Inspector issues a certificate of compliance certifying that the building is in mil compliance with applicable minimum standards for the contemplated use of the building.
