(A) The Common Council finds the structure, equipment, sanitation, maintenance, use and occupancy of residential properties, dwellings and rooming houses may cause a hazard to the public health, safety and welfare. These properties, dwellings and rooming houses may now exist or may exist in the future. The establishment and enforcement of minimum housing standards is required to correct and prevent the existence of public health and safety hazards and is necessary to promote the general welfare of the community.
(B) There are hereby established rules and regulations for the repair or elimination of unfit or unsafe housing conditions in the city, which shall be known as “The Minimum Housing Code of the City of Hartford City.”
