The property is privately owned. As long as the taxes are being paid, and the property is being maintained, the Town would have no authority to require demolition or attempt to take possession. The fact that the building may be ugly and is not presently occupied, again, are not criteria for demolition. That would be a decision made by the property owner. If there are legitimate maintenance concerns, you could list those specific issues, and we can generate a Property Maintenance violation against the owner. But keep in mind, it is a "Maintenance Code", and could not require a complete or extensive renovation.

This place is a dumping ground.
