"...As with revisions to the city’s Minimum Housing Standards Ordinance that were approved by city council last year, Outling said he envisions making the enforcement mechanism in a non-residential building ordinance less cumbersome. Instead of the city taking property owners to court to collect fines that because of a quirk in state law are required to be turned over to the local school system, Outling said under the new system the city would have the authority to make repairs and then place liens on derelict properties.
“We protect our investment because we’ll be the priority lienholder,” Outling said. “It’s a win-win-win because we also repair the property and improve the building stock.”
Matheny was serving on city council at the time the current Good Repair Ordinance was enacted, and he said he and his colleagues could have done a better job..."

"Eminent domain, compulsory purchase, resumption/compulsory acquisition, or expropriation is the power of a state or a national government to take private property for public use.
However, it can be legislatively delegated by the state to municipalities, government subdivisions, or even to private persons or corporations, when they are authorized to exercise the functions of public character.
The property may be taken either for government use or by delegation to third parties, who will devote it to public or civic use or, in some cases, to economic development."
