ABANDON or ABANDONMENT -- Shall be defined as existing where the owner of a building or premises has by action or inaction, failed to correct a serious health and/or safety violation at a building or on the surrounding property. A serious health and/or safety violation may be found, by way of example only and without limitation, where the health, safety and welfare of the community is or may be at risk due to conditions such as: A. Where a building is vacant. However vacancy is not necessarily to be considered a prerequisite to a finding of abandonment; B. Where there exists a lack of maintenance of a building or grounds which actually or potentially poses a risk to the public health, safety or welfare; C. Where a building is not structurally sound or where the building or its interior is otherwise unfit for healthy or safe habitation or access; D. Where vandalism at the property has gone unrepaired; E. Where a lack of maintenance or use of the property promotes a degradation of the surrounding community affecting the public health, safety and welfare.
