Sec. 62-67. Relief from closure order.
(a) An owner of a structure determined to be criminal nuisance property may obtain relief from the court's judgment if the owner:
(1) Appears and pays all costs associated with the proceedings under this division;
(2) Files a bond in such a place and on such form as the court may by order direct in an amount not less than the tax-assessed value of the structure and keeps the bond in force for a period of not less than one year or for such longer period as the court directs; and
(3) Enters into a stipulation with the city that the owner will immediately abate the conditions giving rise to the criminal nuisance property and prevent the conditions from being established or maintained thereafter. The stipulation will then be made part of the court's file.
(b) If the owner violates the terms of the stipulation, the city may thereafter apply to the court for an order awarding up to the entire amount of the bond to the City as a penalty as well as such other relief, including closure for any additional period of up to one year, that is deemed by the court to be appropriate. (Code 1979, § 26-21; Ord. No. 2018-33, § 8, 8-27-2018)
