Demolition pressed on nuisance properties by Cedar Rapids officials
City officials confirm forced demolition of dilapidated nuisance buildings is sometimes necessary to protect other owners. The process starts with referrals or complaints, followed by inspections, notices, and potential council action. About 60 day notices precede possible demolition orders with costs billed to owners. In 1993 six buildings were demolished, fewer than earlier years, with most actions concentrated near Wellington Heights and surrounding quadrants.
