231. Where a structure is in such a condition as to constitute a danger to persons or where it has lost one-half of its value through decay, fire or explosion, the Superior Court may, on application by the responsible body, the municipality, or any interested person, order the carrying out of the works required to ensure the safety of persons or, if there is no other useful remedy, the demolition of the structure. The court may order the owner or the person having custody of the structure to keep the structure under adequate surveillance until the imposed corrective measure has been carried out. It may authorize the responsible body or the municipality to ensure surveillance at the owner’s expense if the owner or person having custody of the structure fails to comply with the court judgment.

Where the matter is exceptionally urgent, the court may authorize the responsible body or the municipality to carry out the work or to proceed with the demolition without further delay, and the responsible body or the municipality may claim the cost thereof from the owner of the building. The court may also, in all cases, enjoin the persons living in the building to vacate it within the time it fixes.
