(b) If a nonconforming structure or portion of a structure containing a nonconforming use becomes physically unsafe or unlawful due to lack of repairs and maintenance and is declared by the Code Enforcement Officer (CEO) to be unsafe or unlawful by reason of physical condition, it shall not thereafter be restored, repaired or rebuilt except in conformity with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
(c) Nothing in this Zoning Code shall be construed to prevent the strengthening or restoring to a safe condition of any building or part thereof declared to be unsafe by the CEO or other official charged with protecting the public safety.
