SCS/HB 1194 - This act allows St. Louis City to have a lien on property that it has ordered a mechanic or person to perform for abatement of dangerous property, provided that it has paid the mechanic or person in full within 120 days after completion of the work.

Jefferson County is authorized to enact ordinance providing for the abatement of a number of conditions on lots or land that are considered unhealthy or unsafe and declared to be a public nuisance. The act provides for certain conditions that must be a part of the abatement ordinance. The ordinance must provide that the building commissioner shall cause the removal of the nuisance within seven days of giving notice to the owner, if such owner fails to remove the nuisance.

Provisions of this act are similar to HCS/SB 1086 (2002).
