Structural hazards are as follows:
(A) Any structure whose walls or vertical members list, lean or buckle to such an extent that a plumb line suspended from the top edge of such member shall fall outside of a distance from the edge equal to one-third of the thickness of such members;
(B) Any structure which has a support member or members which have deteriorated to such an extent as to be unable to safely support the applied loads or which have 40% damage or deterioration of the non-supporting, enclosed or outside walls or covering;
(C) Any structure which has improperly distributed loads upon the floors or roofs or in which the same are overloaded or which have insufficient strength to be reasonably safe for the purpose used;
(D) A stress in any materials, element or member of any structure, or portion thereof, due to all dead and live loads, which is greater than the working stresses allowed by the Kentucky Building Code or Fire Safety Standards;
(E) Any structure which has been damaged by fire, wind, earthquake, flood or other causes in such a manner that the structural stability or strength thereof is appreciably less than the minimum requirements set forth by the Kentucky Building Code for new construction of a similar structure;
(F) Any structure which has parts thereof so attached, dislodged or detached that they may fall or collapse and injure persons or property;
(G) Any structure which has settled to such an extent that the walls or other structural portions thereof have been displaced or distorted and rendered structurally unstable or dangerous, or that the basic function of such element has been impaired;
(H) Any structure which because of dilapidation, deterioration, decay, faulty construction or the removal or movement of some portion of the ground necessary for its support, is likely to partially or completely collapse, or some portion of its foundation or underpinning is likely to fall or give way;
(I) Any structure, exclusive of its foundation, showing damage or deterioration to 33% or more of its members or 50% or more of its non-supporting enclosing or outside wall or covering;
(J) Any structure which is for any reason whatsoever manifestly unsafe for the purpose for which it is used or intended to be used;
(K) Any structure which has been so damaged by fire, wind, earthquake or flood, or has become so dilapidated or deteriorated from any cause whatsoever, as to become an attractive nuisance to children who might play therein, or as to afford a harbor for vagrants, criminals, disorderly persons or others who are not lawful occupants of such structure, or as to enable persons to resort thereto for the purpose of committing a nuisance or unlawful or immoral acts;
(L) Any structure which when constructed was, and now exists or is maintained, in violation of any specific requirement or prohibition under city building ordinances or other laws in effect at the time of such construction relating to the location, use and physical condition of structures;
(M) Any structure which, whether or not originally erected in accordance with all applicable laws and ordinances, because of dilapidation, deterioration, damage or other cause has become so weakened or defective as to have in any non-supporting part, member or portion, less than 50%, or in any supporting member less than 66%, of the strength, fire-resisting qualities or characteristics required by law or ordinance in the case of new construction of a similar structure;
(N) Any structure which because of faulty construction, age, lack of proper repair or other cause is especially liable to fire and constitutes, contains or creates a fire hazard; and
(O) Any structure which for any reason whatsoever is dangerous to the public health or safety because of its condition, and which may cause or aid in the spreading of disease or injury to the health of the occupants of it or neighboring structures.
