c) Unsecured Structure Abatement. Chpt. 32; Sec. 32-56; & Sec. 13.82

Code Enforcement Board · 2026-06-03 · agenda_item

The City of Melbourne's Code Enforcement Board is considering a measure to address unsecured structures. This proposed action would require property owners to secure unoccupied and unsecured buildings by boarding up broken doors and windows to prevent unauthorized access. If owners do not make these corrections, the City will abate the structures. This process is currently under review by the board. The work would involve securing entry points, which could include boarding up damaged doors and windows. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors specializing in property maintenance, board-up services, and general contracting to engage with the city or property owners before formal bids or permits are issued. Early involvement could provide a competitive advantage as the scope and specific requirements are finalized.
