be heard, and the City Council, having fully considered all property matters, is of the
opinion that the said Hearing should be closed; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the photographs and other evidence

City of Wichita Falls, the buildings and /or structures at the locations listed in the
attached List of Structures to be Demolished, with the corresponding property
owners, are found to dangerous buildings which cannot be repaired as defined in said
Article VIII of Chapter 22 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Wichita Falls, and the
property owners listed therein and any other person having an interest in said buildings
as shown by the title search by the City of Wichita Falls are hereby commanded to
demolish the buildings and /or structures in accordance with the State of Particulars set
forth in the Building and Code Administration Division's notice. The property owners
listed on the attached List of Structures to be Demolished and any other person
having an interest in said buildings as shown by title search by the City of Wichita Falls
are further commanded to demolish in accordance with the State of Particulars set forth
in the Building and Code Administration Division's notice within 30 days from the date
of this ordinance.
3. If, within 30 days from the date of this ordinance, any building listed in Section
2 of this ordinance has not been demolished and removed, then it shall be demolished
and removed at the expense of the City, by the City or the City's contractors (subject to
City funding), and the net cost for demolition or removal shall be charged to the owners
of the property and assessed on the land on which the building stood.
4. The dangerous building demolition order for the properties listed in the List of
Structures for which Repair is Authorized is suspended for 30 days from this date,
and the dangerous building demolition order is to be valid again if the property owner
does not obtain a building permit to restore this building within such time. If the property
owner obtains a building permit to restore this building within the aforementioned
period of time, then the dangerous building declaration for this property is suspended
for the additional time of 90 days, and the dangerous building demolition order is to be
valid again if the property owner does not bring this building into compliance with all
codes of the City of Wichita Falls within the aforementioned 90 days. If the property
owner brings this building into substantial compliance (as determined by the City's
building official) with all codes of the City of Wichita Falls within the aforementioned 90
days, then this dangerous building order will be terminated. The owner's failure to
comply with either of the aforementioned deadlines will authorize the City to demolish
the structure without further notification to the owner or any other party.

1011 Roosevelt Street
615 Harding Street

Property at 609 Fort Worth Street was pulled and will be considered at the June

spread disease, and are places of assembly for dangerous criminals; therefore, their
demolition constitutes an emergency for the immediate preservation of the public
business place, property, health, safety and general welfare of the public, as this
ordinance shall become effective immediately from and after the date of its passage
and accordingly it is so ordained.
PASSED AND APPROVED this the 7th day of June, 2011.
