productive reuse and return to the market is an opportunity for communities

throughout the Commonwealth to revitalize, grow, and improve the quality of life

of its citizens; and

building fails to maintain a building in compliance with applicable public safety

housing, building, and nuisance code requirements, it is in the public interest for the

court, pursuant to KRS 99.780 to 99.855, to appoint a conservator to bring the

building into compliance with applicable code requirements before the building

sustains further deterioration preventing future productive economic use.
