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:
MHK to assess level of support for chief minister bid
IoM Government to consider impact and implications of UK triple lock changes
Car parking will return to Castletown's Market Square in October
Lifeboat Operations Manager reflects on 45 years with Peel RNLI
