I'd like them to order the owner to either finish them or tear them down, and when that doesn't happen, they go tear them down and fine the owner for the cost. If they are bank owned, put a lien on them so that the bank has to pay.

Yes, they are private property, but I'm pretty sure a building permit has some requirements around it.
