Any building or structure which has any or all of the conditions or defects described
above in section 6-156, where such condition or conditions pose a threat or potential threat to life, health,
property, or human safety, is hereby declared to be a public nuisance, is prohibited
as unlawful, and shall be abated according to provisions of this article VIII.
It is an offense for an owner or occupant or other person having control of the building
or structure to fail to abate such public nuisance.
Therefore failure to abate such condition may also be prosecuted as a criminal misdemeanor
offense. It is a further offense and unlawful for any person to cause, permit, or
allow a dangerous building after the thirtieth (30th) day after the date on which
the building standards board finds a condition of nuisance and orders abatement, or
after such extended date as may be lawfully permitted by the building standards board.
