The Council has been completing work to demolish an empty block of low-rise flats at 1 to 15 Jasmine Court, Stoke Aldermoor.
The building should be completely removed over the coming weeks and the site cleared for future redevelopment.
It follows a long period of legal efforts by the Council officers.
The Council is increasing its efforts to tackle issues around empty properties in the city – especially with a high demand for good quality housing in the city.
It is continuing to use all legal powers to remove any further obstacles to the redevelopment of the site.
Cllr Naeem Akhtar, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities, said: “I’m delighted that our efforts are paying off to bring empty homes back into use.
“Jasmine Court has been a real eyesore, and I know that local people will feel a real sense of relief that something positive is going to happen.
“We are hopeful that eventually suitable social housing, providing family homes, will replace the demolished flats.”
Cllr Abdul Khan, Deputy Leader of Coventry City Council, added: “I know that a number of council services have been working hard to remove this property.
“There are often a number of legal steps that need to be addressed to deal with housing that has been left empty and in poor disrepair, and I’m pleased to see a positive outcome for people living around Jasmine Court.”
