The White Lakes Mall has been the subject of numerous property maintenance code violations in the last five years as a consequence of failure of the owner, KDL, Inc. to maintain the vacant structure.  

In December, 2020, a structure fire damaged the Mall to such as extent that, on July 2, 2021, the City's administrative hearing officer ordered the property owner to demolish the structure.

As the property owner has not demolished the structure, the City may do so and seek reimbursement from the property owner.  If the owner fails to pay the cost, the City may impose a lien on the property.  Should the property be sold, the lien would be paid.
