§ 94-1. Unsafe buildings prohibited; court order to enjoin.

No person, firm, corporation or association who or which is the owner of a building in the Village of Floral Park shall cause, suffer, allow or permit said building to become dangerous or unsafe to the public. In the event that any building now is or hereafter becomes dangerous or unsafe to the public from any cause whatsoever, said owner or occupant shall repair or remove said building. In the event of the failure of the owner of any such building to repair or remove the same, an official duly appointed by the Board of Trustees of the Village of Floral Park shall make a complete inspection and report of the condition of said building to the Board of Trustees of said village. Notice shall thereafter be served on the owner or some one of the owners, executors, legal representatives, agents, lessees or any other person having a vested or contingent interest in said building, either personally or by registered mail, addressed to the last known address, if any, of the owner or some one of the owners, executors, legal representatives, agents, lessees or any other person having a vested or contingent interest in the same, as shown by the records of the receiver of taxes and/or in the office of the County Clerk or County Registrar. Said notice shall contain a description of the premises, a statement of the particulars in which the building or structure is unsafe or dangerous and an order requiring said building or structure to be made safe and secure or removed; and if the service of said notice is made by registered mail, for a copy of such notice to be posted on the premises. Said notice shall also provide for the time within which the person served with said notice shall commence and complete the securing or removal of the building or structure. In the event of the neglect or refusal of the person so served with said notice to comply with the same, a survey of the premises shall be made by an official of the village and a practical builder, engineer or architect to be named by the Board of Trustees of said village and a practical builder, engineer or architect appointed by the person notified as above; and in the event of the refusal or neglect of the person so notified to appoint such surveyor, the two surveyors named shall make the survey and report; and the notice shall further provide that, in the event that the building or other structure shall be reported dangerous or unsafe under such survey, an application will be made at a special term of the Supreme Court in the judicial district in which the property is located not less than five nor more than 10 days thereafter for an order determining the building or other structure to be a public nuisance and directing that it shall be repaired and secured or taken down and removed.
