condemned property

A condemned property or building is one that a municipality (city or town) has closed, seized, or placed restrictions on because it is determined to be unsafe, unsanitary, or otherwise a risk to public health and safety.

The circumstances under which municipalities may condemn properties are usually described in local or municipal ordinances.

In Nebraska, the condemnation of property or buildings is governed by local municipal ordinances, which outline the conditions under which a property may be deemed unsafe, unsanitary, or a risk to public health and safety. These ordinances are based on the state's general statutes that empower municipalities to ensure the safety and welfare of their residents. When a property is condemned, the municipality may close, seize, or impose restrictions on the property to mitigate the identified risks. The property owner is typically given notice of the condemnation and may be required to vacate the premises, repair the deficiencies, or, in some cases, the property may be subject to demolition. The owner may have the right to appeal the municipality's decision through administrative or judicial processes. It is important for property owners to be aware of their local ordinances and the specific procedures for addressing a condemned property, as these can vary from one municipality to another within the state of Nebraska.
