The municipal corporation shall rehabilitate the building or structure or cause
it to be rehabilitated within two years after the appropriation, so that the building
or structure is no longer a public nuisance, insecure, unsafe, structurally defective,
unhealthful, or unsanitary, or a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare,
or in violation of a building code or ordinance adopted under section 731.231 of the Revised Code . Any building or structure appropriated pursuant to this section which is not rehabilitated

shall appraise the rehabilitated building or structure and the real property of which
it is a part, and shall sell the building or structure and property at public auction. The municipal corporation shall advertise the public auction in a newspaper of general
circulation in the municipal corporation once a week for three consecutive weeks,
or as provided in section 7.16 of the Revised Code , prior to the date of sale. The municipal corporation shall sell the building or structure and real property
