§ 2-181.5. Remediation or improvement to remove designation of blighted condition.

(a)

A property owner or person(s) who is chargeable with the payment of ad valorem taxes on real property which has been officially designated pursuant to this section as property maintained in a blighted condition may petition the public officer to lift the designation, upon proof of compliance of the completion of work required under a court order entered in a proceeding brought pursuant to this section.

(b)

Before action on a petition to lift the designation, the public officer shall cause the property to be thoroughly inspected by a building inspector who, by written inspection report, shall certify that all requisite work has been performed to applicable code in a workmanlike manner, in accordance with the specifications of the applicable court order. Upon finding required work to be satisfactorily performed, the public officer shall issue a written determination that the real property is no longer maintained in a blighted condition. Copies of this determination shall be served upon the person(s) chargeable with the payment of ad valorem taxes, and upon the tax commissioner of the county.
