Clackamas County, OR Property Maintenance: Property Blight (2026)

100 lists the qualifying conditions: structural instability that could cause collapse, blocked exits, occupancy that creates a fire or health hazard, inadequate plumbing, light or ventilation, fire hazards under the Oregon Fire Code, unsafe building systems, hazardous accumulated waste, environmental hazards, and an occupied building lacking potable water or a functioning sewer or septic connection. 110 requires a written notice and order to the record owner describing the specific defects, the required action (repair, vacate or demolish), and a deadline, capped at 60 days to commence permitted repair or demolition work.

The order must also state the owner's right to appeal to the Code Compliance Hearings Officer within 30 days of service, and that failure to appeal waives the right to a hearing. 120 documenting the finding. 030 authorizes the Building Official, the Deputy Building Codes Administrator, the Plan Review Supervisor and the Structural/Mechanical Inspector Supervisor to act as authorized representatives in these proceedings.
