Des Moines city council declared a vacant high-rise in downtown Des Moines a nuisance Monday, with a 7-0 vote. This authorized the city’s legal department to seek a court order to declare the Des Moines Building abandoned and award its title to the city, then the city can try to sell it. Costs to provide heat and maintain the buildng could run the city up to $150,000 over the next several months. They hope to recoup those costs when the building is sold.
