The BSEED Dangerous Building Division will advise you by mail of the decision. Your request CANNOT be processed unless all questions have been answered and all required documents are attached. Failure to submit this form in its entirety will result in BSEED' S inability to provide a favorable recommendation or delay your request, and could result in the demolition of the property.

Applicant shall receive notification of BSEED’s recommendation within five (5) business days following the Special Inspection. Your building was determined to be dangerous.

After a deferral has been granted, if the owner does not comply with the City’s requirements, the deferral may be rescinded by the City Council at any time and the building may be demolished without further notice. After a deferral has been granted, if the owner does not comply with the City’s requirements, the deferral may be rescinded by the City Council at any time and the building may be demolished without further notice.
