It shall be unlawful to demolish, move or substantially change the exterior appearance of any building within the Historic District without having first obtained approval of a Design Review Request for such action, and said approval is required in addition to the building permit required by Ch. 150 of this code of ordinances. A Design Review Request shall not be necessary if the demolition, move, or substantial change is necessary because the building is structurally unsafe, damaged, dilapidated, dangerous to the neighborhood and beyond reasonable repair as determined by the Building Commissioner. Building Commissioner shall advise the Historic Preservation Commission of said action prior to commencement of activity. Building Commissioner must also determine that the condition of building is not attributable to the owner.
