Village Authority Shed Demolition

Summary

In Ohio, local authorities can order the removal of structures deemed unsafe but must provide notice and opportunity for hearing. If the property owner fails to comply within the given time frame, the authorities can proceed with the demolition. However, if the property owner can demonstrate hardship or other valid reasons, they may request an extension. Communication with local authorities is key in such situations.
