(a) A residential rental property may be designated as a slum property if it meets all of the following:
(1) The definition of slum property;
(2) Has three (3) or more of the conditions or defects described in Article II of this chapter at the time of the inspection;
(3) The conditions or defects set forth in a notice of violation provided per section 16-45 of this chapter have not been remedied within the time set forth in the notice of violation; and
(4) No proper and timely appeal of the notice of violation has been filed.
(b) Where designation of a property as a slum is appropriate pursuant to subsection (a), the code official shall designate a slum property by filing in the office of the county recorder a certificate describing the property and certifying that the property is a slum property and that the owner has been so notified. Whenever the corrections ordered thereafter have been completed or the building demolished so that it no longer exists as a slum property, the code official shall file a new certificate with the county recorder certifying that all required corrections have been made and that the property is no longer a slum property.
