                                                                   Wayne CC: 07-731709-CZ
  CITY OF DETROIT, AMRU MEAH, and
  DAVID CLARK,
            Defendants-Appellants.

  _________________________________________/

          On order of the Court, the application for leave to appeal the October 13, 2011
  judgment of the Court of Appeals is considered and, pursuant to MCR 7.302(H)(1), in
  lieu of granting leave to appeal, we REVERSE the judgment of the Court of Appeals and
  we REINSTATE the June 15, 2010 order of the Wayne Circuit Court. MCL 125.541(7)
  entitles the defendant City to a money judgment against the owner of a dangerous
  building for the full cost of the building’s demolition. The City is also entitled to a
  judgment lien against the property on which the building sat, but nothing in the statute
  limits the City to that relief.

                          I, Corbin R. Davis, Clerk of the Michigan Supreme Court, certify that the
                    foregoing is a true and complete copy of the order entered at the direction of the Court.
                          May 2, 2012                         _________________________________________
