WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the photographs and other evidence

attached List of Structures to be Demolished, with the corresponding property
owners, are found to be 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,

Particulars set forth in the Building and Code Administration Division’s notice within 30

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 demoli tion 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

period of time, then the d angerous 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.

#7. 806 Calhoun: 30 days to get rehabilitation permit; 90 days to show
substantial completion
#17. 3212 ½ Iowa Park Road: 30 days to clear the structure.

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 3rd day of February, 2015.
