Hazardous and Substandard Buildings Act <br />Cities that have not adopted a local ordinance regarding nuisances or <br />property maintenance may still abate the public safety threat posed by <br />dangerous dilapidated buildings through the Hazardous and Substandard <br />Building Act in state statute The Hazardous Buildings Act allows cities to <br />order landowners to abate (through repair or razing) hazardous conditions on <br />their property or to abate hazardous conditions itself and then seek <br />compensation for the property owner. <br />D. City land acquisition <br />Cities may also control development through the planned acquisition, <br />development and potentially the resale of land by the city itself. Through <br />purchase and acquisition programs, cities can acquire the land they need for <br />present and future public purposes such as parks, streets, public buildings, <br />such as police and fire halls, and to reserve land for future residential and <br />commercial development. Cities may also acquire land through the tax <br />forfeiture process. <br />League of Minnesota Cities Information Memo: 1/20/2015 <br />Zoning Guide for Cities Page 46 <br />
