Comprehensive powers of enforcement can be exercised by this section under the local government acts. Appropriate action is then taken to eliminate the danger.

If you are concerned about a building that is neglected or unsightly, this is dealt with by the Derelict Sites Section, which is run by the Planning and Property Development Department.
