House Bill No. [insert number] enacts R.S. 33:4754.1, which provides the city of Shreveport with the authority to file a lawsuit against the owners of condemned commercial properties to compel them to demolish such properties. This legal action can only be initiated after the property owner has been given a chance to demolish the condemned property and settle any liens associated with it. The timeframe for the owner to take these actions will be determined by an ordinance from the city's governing authority.

Additionally, the city is permitted to recover various costs associated with the legal proceedings, including court costs, attorney fees, and expenses incurred in locating and notifying the property owner, as well as enforcing and collecting any lien amounts on the property. This legislation aims to streamline the process of addressing condemned commercial properties and ensure that the city can effectively manage and mitigate the issues associated with such properties.
