Sec. 29-114. Public hearing on demolition by neglect

In the event a public hearing is requested, it shall be held by the Commission upon thirty (30) days' written notice mailed to the owner(s) of record, all persons having any right, title, or interest in the subject property, the occupant or other person responsible for the maintenance of the property, and all citizens and organizations which the Commission reasonably finds may have an interest in the proceedings.

The Commission shall not require structures of little historical or design significance within a Historic District to be preserved unless demolition would seriously impair the character of the Historic District. After the public hearing on the issue of the necessity of preventing demolition by neglect, if the Commission still finds that demolition should be prevented, it shall instruct the Director to issue a final notice to be mailed to the owner(s) of record, all persons having any right, title, or interest in the subject property, and the occupant or other person responsible for the maintenance of the property, in the manner prescribed in Section 29-113(b), stating the items of repair and maintenance necessary to correct or prevent further deterioration, except as provided in Section 29-115.

The property owner(s) or other responsible person shall institute corrective action to comply with the final notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of the revised notice, unless an extension is granted by the Commission.
