Section 20.06.030 Time for compliance.

Any structure which shall have been posted with a notice that it is unsafe or unfit shall immediately be made as safe, secure and free from dangers to others as is possible pending repair or demolition. When the corrective action required is repair or modification, the owner of the premises shall, within thirty days of the date of notice, file a sworn statement of intention, with plans and financial reports as may be requested by the inspecting official to assure such intention, to repair, or modify the structure as required for compliance within the provisions of this title. The owner shall within sixty days of the date of notice, commence actual repairs or modifications as required and as stated in the sworn statement of intention. The owner shall, within a reasonable time determined by the inspecting official but not to exceed six months from the date of notice, complete such repairs or modifications as stated and required. When the corrective action required is the demolition of the structure, the owner of the premises shall, within fifteen days of the date of notice commence said demolition; and shall, within a reasonable time determined by the inspecting official but not to exceed sixty days from the date of notice, complete such demolition as stated and required. The board of housing appeals may grant one extension of time to comply with an order to repair or modify or demolish a structure when the owner affirmatively shows the financial ability to perform the work; and the work, through no fault of the owner, cannot be completed within the time provided. Such extension shall be for a reasonable period of time not to exceed ninety days for repairs or modifications and not to exceed sixty days for demolition. (Ord. 2004-0095; 84/T-3098)
