Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, an order issued by the City Enforcement Officer pursuant to § 152.09(C) and an ordinance approved by the City Council pursuant to § 152.09(D) may not require repairs, alterations, or improvements to be made to a vacant manufacturing facility or a vacant industrial warehouse to preserve the original
use. The order and ordinance may require the building to be vacated and closed, but repairs may be required only when necessary to maintain structural integrity or to abate a health or safety hazard that cannot be remedied by ordering the building closed for any use.
