A federal judge gave an order on Thursday.

The Kennedy Center must give 30 days' notice.

This is before any big building changes.

The order covers demolition too.

President Donald Trump threatened demolition.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper made the ruling.

He said it would stop confusion.

The building closed to the public on Wednesday.

Matt Floca is the center's executive director.

He is also the chief operating officer.

He said he closed it for a short time.

There were "acute risks to public safety."

The building has structural damage.

The building will stay closed for at least seven days.

Workers will check safety risks.

Some areas have severe damage.

Floca said the closure came after an inspection.

They checked the roof terrace canopy.

A ceiling partly fell earlier this month.

This is separate from a board vote on Tuesday.

The board voted to close the center for repairs.

The closure has no end date.

Trump became the center's chairman last year.

Board loyalists named him.

He spoke on Wednesday.

He said his restoration work deserves praise.

He said the building would close without it.

He said it would "end up being ripped down."

Rep. Joyce Beatty filed a case.

She is an Ohio Democrat.

She is also a board member.

She wanted an emergency hearing.

She wanted to stop the closing.

She called it an "unlawful closing."

Cooper denied Beatty's request for a hearing.

The hearing was about the board's intent.

But he agreed to one thing.

Demolition needs 30 days' notice.

The board is aligned with Trump.

The board voted to close the center.

This happened after Cooper blocked the board.

The board wanted to put Trump's name back on the building.

Congress gave $257 million for repairs.

Trump said the repairs would happen only if his name was added.

Barbra Streisand was honored in 2008.

She called the controversy "galling and painful to witness."
