§ 719.012.
In order to rehabilitate a building or structure that a municipal corporation determines
to be a blighted property as defined in section 1.08 of the Revised Code , a municipal corporation may appropriate, in the manner provided in sections 163.01 to 163.22 of the Revised Code , any such building or structure and the real property of which it is a part. The municipal corporation shall rehabilitate the building or structure or cause
it to be rehabilitated within two years after the appropriation, so that the building
or structure is no longer a public nuisance, insecure, unsafe, structurally defective,
unhealthful, or unsanitary, or a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare,
or in violation of a building code or ordinance adopted under section 731.231 of the Revised Code . Any building or structure appropriated pursuant to this section which is not rehabilitated
within two years shall be demolished. If during the rehabilitation process the municipal corporation retains title to the
building or structure and the real property of which it is a part, then within one
hundred eighty days after the rehabilitation is complete, the municipal corporation
shall appraise the rehabilitated building or structure and the real property of which
it is a part, and shall sell the building or structure and property at public auction. The municipal corporation shall advertise the public auction in a newspaper of general
circulation in the municipal corporation once a week for three consecutive weeks,
or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code , prior to the date of sale. The municipal corporation shall sell the building or structure and real property
to the highest and best bidder. No property that a municipal corporation acquires pursuant to this section shall
be leased.
