Latest version.
  • Whenever the commissioner of health, the director of regulatory services, or the fire marshal finds that any dwelling, multiple dwelling or dwelling unit constitutes a hazard to the health, safety or welfare of the occupants or to the public because it lacks maintenance, or is dilapidated, unsanitary, vermin-infested, or rodent-infested, because it lacks the sanitary facilities and equipment required by the housing maintenance code, or because it violates residential storage standards, he or she may condemn such dwelling or dwelling unit as unfit for human habitation. If any dwelling or any part thereof is occupied by more families than provided by this Code, or is erected, altered or occupied contrary to law, such dwelling shall be deemed an unlawful structure and the director of regulatory services may cause such dwelling to be vacated. It shall be unlawful to again occupy such dwelling until it or its occupation, as the case may be, has been made to conform to the law. (Code 1960, As Amend., § 80.010; Pet. No. 252271, § 31, 5-11-90; 91-Or-240, § 4, 12-6-91; 2013-Or-161, § 33, 12-6-13)
