Correcting hazardous conditions

If an immediate hazard exists, it must be corrected. If the dwelling is occupied, corrective action must be taken by the owner or the owner's agent. If the dwelling is vacant, it cannot be occupied until the hazard has been corrected.

If the owner / seller cannot undertake corrective action, the buyer may elect to correct the immediate hazards identified in the Evaluation Report. A buyer intending to correct the hazards must first obtain written consent from the City of Bloomington. See form Immediate Hazard Correction/Responsibility Agreement.

The owner or the owner's contractor must obtain all the necessary permits from the City and the dwelling will be subject to City reinspection prior to occupancy. Call 952-563-8930 to schedule a City inspection.
