Demolition or repair of unsafe structures - see Ohio R.C. 715.26 et seq.
No owner of a building or structure within the boundaries of the Village shall permit the same to remain in such an advanced state of disrepair as to endanger the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Community or so as to be a public nuisance by reason of its condition.
(Ord. 669-68. Passed 4-2-68.)
The Village Fire Chief shall have free access at any reasonable hour upon showing appropriate identification when a building is occupied, to make inspection, examinations and survey of any building, dwelling or structure located within the Municipality where he has probable cause to believe the building, dwelling or structure is unsafe or insecure and thereby dangerous to the residents of the Municipality.
(Ord. 669-68. Passed 4-2-68.)
Upon a determination by the Fire Chief that any building, dwelling or structure is in such advanced state of disrepair by reason of defective or inadequate plumbing or sanitary facilities, or faulty or defective electric wiring; accumulation of debris, filth, rubbish or garbage; general deterioration in the structure by reason of age, neglect, exposure to the elements, or vandalism; failure of the exterior enclosure causing exposure to the elements and general deterioration of the structure; partial damage to the structure by reason of fire, windstorm or other calamity; or by reason of deterioration or damage to the foundation, so as to endanger the health, safety and welfare of the public and is therefore a public nuisance, he shall direct the owner of such building, dwelling or structure, in writing by certified mail, at the last known address of said owner, to effect the repairs necessary to put the building in a reasonable safe condition, or, if the owner is unknown or cannot be located, by publishing a notice to effect such repairs as are necessary to put the building in a reasonable safe condition, in a newspaper of general circulation in the community for a period of no less than two consecutive weeks. No repairs shall be made unless all requirements of the Village zoning laws are complied with.
(Ord. 669-68. Passed 4-2-68.)
