§ 8-2100.1. Abatement; court order.

(a)

In the event that the trial judge finds that the owner of any such building or structure in the City of Atlanta is maintaining a nuisance as set forth in section 8-2098 hereof, he shall, in accordance with the provisions of section 72-401, Ga. Code Ann., be authorized to make a finding that such building or structure does constitute a nuisance, and, if such is found to exist, he shall order its abatement. The power to order the abatement of such nuisance shall include the power to frame any such order that the ends of justice require and shall include the power to order the owner to repair the building or structure to the extent entry could only be obtained through a forcible unauthorized entry, or to order the demolition of any such building or structure.

(b)

Nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit the trial judge from granting an appropriate amount of time, as adduced from evidence presented, in which to allow the owner to abate a judicially determined nuisance.

(c)

Nothing herein shall be construed so as to place a limitation upon the power of any superior court judge when proceedings are instituted pursuant to section 8-2100(b) above.
