Title
An Ordinance of the City Commission of Coral Gables, Florida, amending section 105-96, Chapter 105, Article III of the City of Coral Gables Code to add demolition to the enumerated emergency actions that may be ordered or taken by the Building Official in connection with an unsafe structure; providing for a repealer provision, severability clause, codification, and providing for an effective date.
Body
Section 105-96 of the City Code describes the actions that may be ordered or taken by the building official when there is an actual or immediate danger or the failure of collapse of a structure, but does not expressly include demolition.
However, under certain emergency circumstances, demolition or partial demolition of a structure is necessary to protect the public health, welfare and safety.
The proposed ordinance expressly authorizes the building official to order the demolition of or take action to demolish or partially demolish a structure as necessary under emergency circumstances.
