PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that the Village of Rib Mountain, by its building inspector, hereby declares that the building located on the above described property is in violation of Wisconsin Statute 66.0413. Consequently, this building is old, dilapidated or out of repair and, consequently, dangerous, unsafe, unsanitary or otherwise unfit for human habitation and unreasonable to repair.
THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Owner of said building located on the above described property shall raze and remove said building pursuant to Wisconsin Statute 66.0413 on or before January 1, 2026. To raze a building means to demolish and remove the building and to restore the site to a dust-free and erosion-free condition. If the building on the property described herein contains personal property or fixtures which will unreasonably interfere with the razing of the building or if the razing makes necessary the removal, sale or destruction of the personal property or fixtures, the Village of Rib Mountain Building Inspector hereby Orders the removal of the personal property or fixtures on or before January 1, 2026.
PLEASE TAKE FURTHER NOTICE that, if the Owner fails or refuses to comply within the time prescribed herein, the Village of Rib Mountain Building Inspector or other designated officer may proceed to raze the building located on the above described property through any available public agency or by contract or arrangement with private persons or to secure the building and, if necessary, the property on which the building is located if unfit for human habitation, occupancy or use. The cost of razing or securing the building shall be charged in full or in part against the real estate upon which the building is located and, if that cost is so charged, it shall be a lien upon the real estate and may be assessed and collected as a special charge but may not be assessed and collected as a special tax. Any portion of the costs charged against the real estate that is not reimbursed under Wis. Stat. §632.103(2) from funds withheld from insurance settlement may be assessed and collected as a special tax.
A person affected by this Order, within thirty (30) days after service of this Order, as provided under Wis. Stat. §893.76, may apply to the Circuit Court for an Order restraining the Village of Rib Mountain Building Inspector from razing the building or forever be barred.
If personal property or fixtures are not removed by the time specified herein, the Village of Rib Mountain Building Inspector may store, sell or, if it has no appreciable value, destroy the personal property or fixtures. If the property is stored, the amount paid for storage shall be a lien against the property and against the real estate and, to the extent that the amount is not reimbursed under Wis. Stat. §632.103(2) from funds withheld from the insurance settlement, shall be assessed and collected as a special tax against the real estate if the real estate is owned by the owner of the personal property and fixtures. If the property is stored, the owner of the property if known, shall be notified of the place of storage and if the property is not claimed by the owner, it may be sold at the expiration of six (6) months after it has been stored. The handling of the sale and the distribution of the net proceeds after deducting the costs of storage and any other costs shall be specified as set forth in Wis. Stat. §66.0413(1)(j) and a report made to the Circuit Court as specified in said statute.
