City-County Demolition Collaborative 2008

In an effort to help remove vacant, boarded houses from Minneapolis neighborhoods, Hennepin County officials have joined forces with the Problem Properties Unit and Regulatory Services to demolish at least 100 properties by December 31, 2008.

Pursuant to Chapter 249 of the Minneapolis Ordinance, City staff have already performed interior surveys of many of the City's condemned houses and selected the worst to receive the Director's Order of Demolition. Buildings get placed on the Chapter 249 list for various reasons. Please read about boarded buildings and code compliance for more information.
