Proposed Resolution

Demolition Purposes
ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution directing the City Manager to identify funds totaling $100,000,
subject to increase, for demolition purposes in non -Community Development
target areas by the Building Department.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami has a number of buildings or structures that are considered
unsafe. An unsafe structure is one which has been damaged by the elements,
acts of God, fire, explosion or do not comply with the provisions of the
applicable building code. Incomplete buildings, or buildings completed without
permits or inspections, can also be presumed and deemed unsafe. These
structures are safety and health problems, as well as eyesores in our
community. Many unsafe structures are open, abandoned and a haven for
illegal activities such as drug and prostitution. Resolving the safety hazard
that these properties pose is our main concern, but indirectly, we will eliminate
many other problems associated with them.
The Building Department presently has a budget for demolition of structures
within Community Development target areas, however there are no general
funds identified for demolition of structures in non -target areas.
The proposed resolution will direct the City Manager to identify funds totaling
$1.00,000 to demolish approximately ten ( 10) structures in non -target areas,
such as Upper Eastside, Wynwood/Edgewater, Allappattah, Coral Way, and
N.E. Coconut Grove.
