Missouri Revised Statutes Title XL. Additional Executive Departments § 630.525. Destruction of obsolete structures--procedure

If any major building standing on property under the supervision and control of the department is in such a state of dilapidation or disrepair as to be, in the opinion of the director, dangerous to patients or residents, employees of the department or other persons frequenting such property, the department may, with the approval of the division of design and construction and, if necessary, with appropriations for this purpose from the general assembly, cause such building to be torn down or razed. For such purpose, the department may contract with any person under the rules and regulations of the division of purchasing, and may sell or otherwise dispose of the materials composing such building.
