Possibly. If a property is in such disrepair and so substandard, a placard hearing would first be conducted by the Hearing Officer to determine if the structure is unfit for human habitation. If the structure is ordered placarded and vacated, residents are given a list of housing opportunities and referrals. Further, the time specified for vacating the premises cannot be less than 72 hours nor more than 30 days.
