It is hereby found that there exist within the village abandoned structures which the Village Council finds to be hazardous to the health, safety, and welfare of the residents of the village due to the attraction of insects or rodents, conditions creating a fire hazard, dangerous conditions constituting a threat to children, or frequent use by vagrants as living quarters in the absence of sanitary facilities.
