How long does it take the city to abate a public nuisance?
There is a process that the city must follow to comply with state law before it can abate a public nuisance. This provides the property owner a certain period of time to correct the problem or appeal the public nuisance determination. In most cases, the process takes about two weeks from the time a public nuisance is identified or reported to the time it can be abated. Abatement demolition of dilapidated buildings is a separate process under state law that can take several months to accomplish.Enforcement and abatement
