It seems there are ways to deal with all the problems you name other than demolishing the house. If it is unsafe, it can be vacated for safety reasons, and fixed up.
The moratorium on demolition seems a good idea to me as well. As I understand the city's current policy, a house is torn down if it costs more to repair it than demolish it. However, it costs much more to build a whole new house. The housing crisis is complicated, and needs a thoughtful response. I am heartened to see a new council-person taking a thoughtful approach to this issue, and asking questions.
