The building is not watertight and is not well secured.
The Department of the Environment said it has "tried repeatedly to encourage the owner to take steps to remedy the situation, to no avail.
"It has now issued a notice which outlines the action it will take to carry out emergency works if the owner does not initiate these within seven days."
