(A) It is the policy of the city that boarding up of a vacant property is a temporary solution to prevent unauthorized entry into a vacant building and that boarded buildings are a public nuisance. A vacant structure may not remain boarded up for longer than six months unless an extension of that time is approved by the Director or the Director's designee in writing.
(B) Notwithstanding the provisions of this chapter, the city shall retain the right afforded under relevant state or local law to declare a non-compliant vacant structure unsafe and/or a public nuisance. The city may pursue whatever legal recourse afforded to it by law, including, but not limited to, the action to abate a public nuisance or an action seeking the demolition of a dangerous and unsafe building.
