Douglas Borough Council has run out of patience with the owners of the former Woolworths store in Strand Street.
Council leader David Christian says he has been bitterly disappointed for some time by the appearance of the building, and a number of attempts to improve the fascade have failed.
However, following renewed complaints from retailers that their businesses were being affected, white hoardings have been put in place across the front of the building.
Action was also threatened under the town's by-laws:
Garff Commissioners hosting offshore windfarm drop in session today
No harbour basin work planned in Laxey this summer
Public invited to suggest new brownfield site for potential re-development
Anthony Allen re-elected as chair at Onchan Commissioners
Police urge public to check person's identification if claiming to be a police officer
