Is there anything the city can do at this point to force scientology's hand in either enacting long (LONG) planned repairs and renovations, or to take the property from the organization? It's been over a decade, and the building was already suffering structural problems. Without repair, it's gonna fall on its own, and someone's gonna get hurt.

Condemnation of said building could force them out, but I am not sure that would force them to relinquish the building. Different things...

...but I'll admit I am no expertise here how that all actually works here.

The City can enforce "Property Standards" and if owner does not make repairs the City will make them and add cost to taxes. Then when/if taxes are not paid the building can be sold. QUESTION: Are there actually any Property Standards orders in place?

Did ya know you could look this up? Me Neither, but when @DSC asks a question, the world must look for answers!

 
Can't imagine anyone at the city wants to deal with the resulting retaliation from the COS if they did force something here.
What can they really retaliate with? I live around the area and I am so sick of seeing this ruin. If nothing else, this can be a homeless shelter as that's a problem around the area.

Maybe start a partition would be a good idea?
 
...I think the fear of religious persecution should be the last thing Council's minds when dealing with wayward buildings ran by dodgy tenants.
