(A) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent the ordinary maintenance and repair of any exterior architectural feature of a landmark or property within a Historic District which does not involve a change in design, material, color or outward appearance.
(B) No owner or person with an interest in real property designated as a landmark or included within a Historic District shall permit the property to fall into a serious state of disrepair so as to result in the deterioration of any exterior architectural feature which would, in the judgment of the Historic Preservation Commission, produce a detrimental effect upon the character of the Historic District as a whole or the life and character of the property itself.
(C) Examples of such deterioration include:
(1) Deterioration of exterior walls or other vertical supports;
(2) Deterioration of roofs or other horizontal members;
(3) Deterioration of exterior chimneys;
(4) Deterioration or crumbling of exterior stucco or mortar;
(5) Ineffective waterproofing of exterior walls, roofs or foundations, including broken windows or doors; and
(6) Deterioration of any feature so as to create a hazardous condition which could be lead to the claim that demolition is necessary for the public safety.
