EDITOR'S NOTE: Resolution 154-1983, passed December 19, 1983, provides that the following principles shall continue to be applied in construing and administering the Housing Code where feasible, applicable and equitable:
(a) Changes in the Housing Code adopted by the Council shall, where proper, thereafter give the property owner the benefit of any such revised or new standards of maintenance.
(b) All code enforcement personnel shall, at all times, treat members of the public with courtesy and respect.
(c) Except in cases of emergency, no Housing Inspector shall enter an inhabited dwelling unit for purposes of inspection without either the consent of the owner or a search warrant.
(d) To the greatest extent possible, inspections shall be consistent and uniform in application throughout the City.
(e) The Commissioner of Inspectional Services shall seek to maintain and make available for the benefit of the public an informal administrative appeal procedure for review of certain violations, where such a procedure may be helpful in resolving an area of dispute between a property owner and the City.
(f) All reasonable efforts shall be made to resolve disputes between property owners and the City prior to the time that Court action is instituted by the City based upon Housing Code violations.
(g) The City shall continue to cooperate with private and public agencies providing financial and counseling services to Cleveland Heights homeowners and make referrals to such agencies whenever appropriate.
(h) Finally, Council states its continued full support for the comprehensive inspection program now in effect based upon firm, but fair, application of the Housing Code, and agrees to continue to monitor both the Code and its enforcement to insure that the Code's necessary and worthwhile purposes are fulfilled.
