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 Nevada, the condemnation of property or buildings is governed by a combination of state statutes and local municipal ordinances. These laws allow municipalities to condemn properties that are deemed unsafe, unsanitary, or pose a risk to public health and safety. The specific circumstances under which a property can be condemned are detailed in the local ordinances of the city or town where the property is located. This process typically involves an inspection by city officials or designated inspectors, who assess the condition of the property. If the property is found to be in violation of health, safety, or building codes, the municipality may issue a notice to the property owner, requiring them to make necessary repairs or improvements. Failure to comply can result in the property being condemned, which may lead to restrictions on its use, seizure, or even demolition. Property owners have the right to appeal the condemnation decision and may be entitled to compensation if the municipality opts to take control of the condemned property through eminent domain proceedings.
