Practice question: Requisites Before Demolition Order is Issued

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

After the obligor fails to remove improvements within the reasonable court-fixed time, the obligee files a motion. It argues that failure alone makes a hearing unnecessary and authorizes the sheriff to demolish without a special order. Which is best?
  1. The failure automatically replaces every remaining requirement
  2. Filing a motion is itself a demolition order
  3. The Rule still requires the hearing and special court order; one satisfied prerequisite does not erase the others
  4. The creditor may select any unrelated building for demolition
  5. A motion always proves ownership against all third persons
