I’m trying to find out how other code departments handle an unsafe building due to fire damage. So in my city, the Fire Department calls us to the scene of all structure fires so we can take over the enforcement aspect of getting the property repaired or demolished, as well as the maintenance of the property until it’s repaired or demolished. One thing we used to do as part of the procedure is issue the owner a ticket for an unsafe building immediately after the fire. We only did this to try and prevent the owner from “running.”
I am posting this to find out how other agencies handle this scenario. I am also looking for feedback on issuing the owner a ticket because I understand why we did that, but I also find that process to be pretty harsh.
Appreciate any feedback. Thank you.
