This is a Notice of Emergency Ordered Demolition issued by the City of Detroit Building Official under Detroit City Code 8-17-41 through 8-17-45 and NESHAP regulations (40 CFR 61 Subpart M). The notice, dated September 9, 2026, identifies the building located at 2965 Beaufait in Detroit, Michigan as structurally unsound, unsafe, and in immediate danger of collapse, thereby posing a hazard to public health, safety, and welfare. The Building Official has ordered immediate demolition of the structure and mandates that all occupants vacate the premises immediately. Property owners are permitted to conduct demolition using privately contracted, City-licensed demolition contractors, provided they submit a written application for permission to the Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department at Coleman A. Young Municipal Center, 2 Woodward Avenue, Fourth Floor, within three business days of the notice date. Additionally, property owners have the right to request an administrative hearing before the Building Official within ten days of the notice to present testimony and evidence regarding the demolition order; however, the Building Official retains the authority to proceed with demolition prior to any hearing if necessary to protect public welfare.

The property at 2965 Beaufait is identified as a vacant commercial building (Parcel 15013352, Building ID 408805) comprising approximately 0.895 acres and 38,986 square feet.

The property was last sold on November 21, 2014 for $1. No specific contracting timeline, bidding procedures, funding amounts, or contract award information is provided in this emergency demolition notice, as this is an administrative enforcement action rather than a formal competitive procurement.
