(A) Any citizen or representative of the city may file a verbal or written complaint with the Mayor and/or City Council member or with the Police or Fire Department.
(B) (1) Upon notice of a complaint, the Chief of Police and the head of the Fire Department or their designated representative will, without entering the premises, conduct a visual inspection of the subject premises.
(2) Specifically, the inspectors shall view the dwellings to determine whether or not those dwellings are unfit for human habitation and whether or not the erection, use or maintenance of the dwelling constitutes a dangerous hazard to adjacent landowners, buildings or public use of streets. Any building, house or structure which is so out of repair and dilapidated that it constitutes a fire or health hazard due to lack of adequate maintenance or neglect and as such endangers the public health, welfare or safety, or materially interferes with the peaceful enjoyment of owners of adjacent property as a result of a fire or health hazard, shall be targeted for abatement.
