Appropriate building permits may be required for those violations noted in the "Special Requirements" section on the notice. Should you have questions regarding permits, contact the Permit and Development Center at (515) 283-42. All work performed by a contractor or you must be completed in a workmanlike manner. If you plan to renovate the structure and it has been vacant for a period in excess of one year, there may be zoning issues/ which will affect the proposed use of the structure and/or real estate. Please contact the Development Zoning Division at (515) 283-427 to determine what the legal use for the structure and/or the real estate is prior to commencement of any renovation. If you believe the building is beyond repair and decide to remove it, all debris must be removed from the property and the basement excavation if any, filled in the manner required by the City. You are encouraged to arrange for this demolition yourself; however a demolition permit must be obtained from the Building Department. In the event you are unable to arrange for demolition, you may sign a waiver voluntarily authorizing the City to do so. However, the City may take a personal judgment against you for the costs of removal. If you no longer own the property, notify us in writing of the name, address, and telephone number of the new owner. A copy of the real estate contract or deed, if it has not been recorded at the County Recorder's Office, shall likewise be furnished to the Neighborhood Inspection Division.
