Structures shall not be permitted to become deteriorated, decayed, remain fire damaged or otherwise un-maintained in any manner, as further specified below:
(a) Foundations, Exterior Walls, Roofs and Appurtenances.
(1) Foundations. The foundation of every structure within the City shall be maintained free from damaged, loose, or missing, block bricks, tile, or any other deteriorated foundation material, nor shall any foundation otherwise be maintained in a condition so as to potentially damage the integrity of the structure that it supports.
(2) Exterior walls, structures and appurtenances. Every exterior wall, door, porch, patio, floor, step, chimney, railing, window, sill, sash, molding, lintel, frame, gutter, downspout, lattice, fence, gate, or any other exterior portion of a structure or any parts or features thereof, shall be maintained free from holes, cracks, damaged, decayed, deteriorated, warped, loose, or missing materials, and shall otherwise be maintained in good repair and in a structurally safe, sound and functioning condition. All windows, doors, roofs, walls, or other means of access to a building or structure shall be secured against uncontrolled outside access.
(3) Roofs. Every roof shall be maintained in good repair and in a weather-tight condition and shall otherwise be structurally sound and free from holes, cracks, damaged, decayed, deteriorated, warped, loose, or missing materials. All missing shingles or other roofing materials shall be replaced with materials of a similar kind, nature, design and color as the remaining materials. Any roof or distinguishable portion thereof determined by the Zoning Administrator to have more than five percent (5%) of its total area comprised of missing or deteriorated shingles or other roofing materials shall be replaced.
(b) Surface Coating Protection of Structures and Appurtenances Required. All exterior surfaces of every structure and appurtenances thereto in the City shall be maintained so as to resist decay or deterioration from the elements or from any other naturally occurring cause. To this end, all exterior surfaces shall be free from holes, breaks, and loose or rotting materials so as to effectively prevent such decay or deterioration. Any exterior wall segment, facing, or other distinguishable surface area determined by the Zoning Administrator to have more than five percent (5%) of its total area bare or otherwise deteriorated shall be required to be appropriately repaired and surface coated as specified above. If the surface to be coated is only a portion of a structure, then such surface coating shall be compatible in color, texture, and design with the entire structure.
(c) Repair or Removal of Deteriorated or Decayed Buildings or Structures. When the Zoning Administrator has determined that a violation of this code has occurred, the City may require the repair or removal of any buildings or other structures that have been found in violation of the code.
(1) Notification required. The City shall give notice by certified mail of its intentions with respect to repair or removal of the structure, to the owner of such property. If the owner's address is unknown and cannot be reasonably obtained, it is sufficient to publish the notice once in a newspaper of general circulation in the City.
(2) Failure to repair or remove. Within thirty (30) days of notice by the City, plans shall be submitted by the owner to the Zoning Administrator regarding the intended course of action for repair or removal of the structure. Within ninety (90) days from notice by the City, repair or removal as approved by the Zoning Administrator shall be completed, unless an extension is granted by the Zoning Administrator.
