§ 192.001. "Dangerous structure" defined

Sec. 1. As used in this Chapter [Part] a "dangerous structure" means a building or structure that has one or more of the following defects or is in one or more of the following conditions:

(a) A portion of the building or structure is damaged by fire, wind, flood, or other cause so that the structural strength or stability of the building or structure is appreciably less than it was before the catastrophe and does not meet the minimum requirements of the building code enforced within the City for a new building or structure.

(b) A part of the building or structure is likely to fall, become detached or dislodged, or collapse and injure persons or damage property.

(c) A portion of the building or structure has settled to such an extent that walls or other structural portions of the building or structure have materially less resistance to wind than is required in the case of new construction by the building code enforced within the City.

(d) The building or structure, or a part of the building or structure, because of dilapidation, deterioration, decay, faulty construction, or the removal or movement of some portion of the ground necessary for the support, or for other reasons, is likely to partially or completely collapse, or some portion of the foundation or underpinning of the building or structure is likely to fall or give way.

(e) The building, structure, or a part of the building or structure is manifestly unsafe for the purpose for which it is used.

(f) The building or structure is damaged by fire, wind, or flood, or is dilapidated or deteriorated and has become an attractive nuisance to children who might play in the building or structure to their danger.

(g) The building or structure is vacant, dilapidated, and opened at door or window, leaving the interior of the building exposed to the elements or accessible to entrance by trespassers.
