We will visit the site of the building or structure and arrange any appropriate action to maintain the public safety. If it is considered potentially dangerous, we will make attempts to contact the owner to resolve the issue.

This may include placing protective barriers or fencing until a more permanent solution is found. The owner will be invoiced for any expenses involved.
