 Good morning, my name is Antoine Williams, A-N-T-I-O-N-E and I'm a housing inspector. Today I'm going to speak to you about tips about vacant buildings. The vacant building ordinance that's 5-296 was established in 2019. Vacant buildings, whether it be commercial or residential, are considered vacant after being unoccupied for more than 120 days. Vacant building registration is very important in the city of Columbia. It eliminates squatters and different situations that make properties unsafe in the community. One way that you can register your vacant property is go to columbiapd.net forward slash code enforcement where you can find a copy of the ordinance and also the paperwork to register your vacant building. The registration fee is $50, the city of Columbia comes out and we inspect the property and we also send you a checklist of all the violations that we have found at the property and give you an opportunity to correct them. Once you have corrected the violations then you will receive a certificate that identifies your property as a vacant building and it goes into our city of Columbia database where we can monitor the property by being vigilant in the community. Also be a good neighbor and do your part.
