of Ordinances outlined different building elements that constituted a dangerous building.

Ordinance that were pertinent to this case. Mr. Williams proceeded to read Chapter 7,
Article II, of the Grapevine Code of Ordinances.

inadequate weather protection, (holes in roof and broken windows), fire damage to
structure, damaged / missing plumbing, holes in walls, and unsanitary structure and
premises.
