interested in said property,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that, upon reviewing all of the evidence presented

said structure thereon appears to be
unsafe and dangerous, as set forth

days of receipt of this Notice,
unless good cause is shown by the
property owner or other interested
persons whereupon the time shall be
extended by the Town Board of the

demonstrated, which may require
action sooner, the Code provides
that repair and/or demolition of

thereafter, unless good cause is
shown by the property owner
whereupon the time shall be extended
by the Town Board of the Town of
Queensbury,

of the Town of Queensbury, in
relation to the dangerous or unsafe

6. That, at the hearing, the Town Board
will also consider whether there is
a clear and imminent danger to the
life, safety or health of any person
or property unless the buildings are
immediately closed, repaired or
demolished, as set forth herein, and
whether to authorize the Director of

repair, demolish or close and board
up the premises and thereafter
3
assess any charges to the real

of the Town of Queensbury.
7. In the event that there is neglect
or refusal to comply with the order
of this Board to repair and/or
demolish the structures located on
