Such time may be extended at the discretion of the City's building official, in consultation with the Historic Preservation Officer. 3.) If the owner of the subject property, in the opinion of the City's Building Official and Historic Preservation Officer, fails to undertake and substantially complete the required remedial and corrective action within the specified time frame, the City may, at the expense of the owner, file an action seeking an injunction ordering the property owner to take the remedial and corrective action to restore the structure or building into compliance with the required minimum maintenance standards herein and seeking civil penalties, such civil action may only be initiated at the discretion of the City Manager or designee. The court shall order an injunction providing such remedies if the City proves that the property owner has violated the required minimum maintenance standards or any portion of this section or this code. 4.) Any historically designated building, structure, landscape feature, improvement, site, or portion thereof which requires an application for a certificate of appropriateness for demolition shall not have its architectural features removed, destroyed or modified until the certificate of appropriateness is granted. Owners of such property shall be required to maintain such properties in accordance with all applicable codes up to the time the structure is demolished. 5.) There shall be no variances, by either the Board of Adjustment or the Historic Preservation Board, from any of the provisions contained in this Section, except if the property owner demonstrates to the Board that the required remedial and corrective action would create an unreasonable or undue hardship as described in Section 8-115.
