(1997 Code)
Section 9-2-10 of Colona's Rental Housing chapter establishes that when a dwelling, dwelling unit, rooming unit, hotel, or motel is found unfit for human habitation, specific procedures must be followed for condemning, placarding, and potentially demolishing that property. The provision sets a compliance framework ensuring that any such designation and subsequent action adheres to defined requirements. It applies to the full range of residential and lodging structures covered under the chapter.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Colona § 9-2-10, property owners and managers of dwellings, rooming units, hotels, and motels should be aware that local authorities have a defined process for declaring a property unfit for human habitation. Compliant operators generally maintain their properties in a habitable condition to avoid triggering the condemnation and placarding procedures outlined in this section. Familiarity with the full set of requirements referenced in § 9-2-10 helps operators understand what inspections, notices, and remediation steps may be involved if a property is flagged.

Colona § 9-2-10 provides a formal process through which housing units, rooming units, hotels, and motels can be officially designated as unfit for human habitation and subjected to condemnation or demolition procedures. Tenants living in properties that may meet that threshold have the general right to have those conditions formally evaluated under this provision's framework. Those who believe their unit may qualify as unfit can explore options such as contacting Colona's local housing or code enforcement office, or reaching out to a tenant-rights organization for guidance on how the condemnation process under § 9-2-10 might apply.
