(A) Historic buildings, structures, and sites shall be maintained to meet the applicable requirements established under state statute for buildings generally so as to prevent the loss of historic material and the deterioration of important character defining details and features.
(B) Ordinary repairs and maintenance. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to prevent the ordinary repairs and routine maintenance of any building, structure, or site, provided that such repairs or routine maintenance do not result in a conspicuous change in the design, form, proportion, mass, configuration, building material, texture, color, location, or external visual appearance of any structure, or part thereof. Such work may be begun and executed without a certificate of appropriateness issued by the Historic Preservation Commission. The Commission shall review and act upon any case where a question exists as to whether or not a specific action is an ordinary repair or maintenance not requiring a certificate of appropriateness.
