What does "a building or structure which is not occupied or used" mean?

[Shadowbunny]

It was a hypothetical situation only. The hypothetical included etc., meaning and other things, not limited to. I posted to see what others opinions are on the meaning of "used."

I argue "used" does not mean "occupied." If we agree "used" is ambiguos, courts would look to the legislative intent of the ordinance.

Thanks for mentioning appeal process, which I am aware of.

So I see you're living under a bridge, rather than the condo.

. . . Sell the property. End of problem.

Why force me to sell or rent my property, now? Even if it were unoccupied, it is being used, maintained and monitored.

None of the cities, in the county, ordinances' require an owner to rent, sell, register or pay a fee for an unoccupied residential building, as long as the maintenance ordinances are followed.

Every city in the county has ordinance that essentially reads;

A residential building can be legally unoccupied if the building meets all codes, does not contribute to blight, is ready for occupancy, and is actively being maintained and monitored by the owner.

Great things to include in your appeal.

Look - there's NOTHING else to do at this point but appeal.
