What was previously the Sahara motel is now just an eye-sore on East Highway 80.
The building caught fire in late July after fireworks in the area sparked a blaze.
City building inspectors have determined asbestos is present in the building and are currently taking bids to rid the asbestos and demolish the property.
Any future owners of the property would take over the bill for the demolition.
