In the end, we decided on pursuing a derelict buildings ordinance instead, which we are in the midst of using now to demo some old, decrepit buildings in our downtown area. However, I would suggest looking at the vacant buildings section of the municipal code for the City of San Antonio, TX. That is one way to do it. :)</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif">All best,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><br></div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4" face="trebuchet ms,sans-serif"><em><strong> -- David C.
