This Exterior Property Maintenance Code is limited to the establishment of minimum standards for the maintenance of exterior surfaces and exterior functioning units of all structures, buildings, and uses within the Village, including lot and yard areas within the Village. No provisions of this Code shall, in any way, directly or indirectly, be interpreted to interfere with, or to limit the right of, any owner or resident to inhabit real property owned or leased by them in such a manner and form as they may determine appropriate; consistent with other applicable provisions of law. This Code is directed to obvious exterior visual conditions which may lead to the violation of this Code within the Village.
(Ord. 19-20. Passed 11-4-20.)
The purpose of this Code is to protect the public health, safety, and welfare by establishing a minimum standard governing the maintenance, appearance, and exterior condition of all premises and uses throughout the Village; to fix certain responsibilities and duties upon owners, residents, and managers of the same as to both separate and correlative responsibilities and duties; to authorize and establish procedures for the exterior inspection of such premises and uses; to affix penalties for the violations of this Code; and to provide a process for the repair, demolition, or vacation of premises unfit for human habitation, occupancy, or use. This Code is hereby declared to be remedial and essential for the public interest, and it is intended that this Code be construed and interpreted to effectuate the purposes as stated herein.
(Ord. 19-20. Passed 11-4-20.)
Each chapter, section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or other divisible part of this Exterior Property Maintenance Code is hereby declared to be severable and if any such chapter, section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or other divisible part is declared unconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any court of competent jurisdiction in a valid judgment or decree, such unconstitutionality or invalidity shall not affect any of the remaining chapters, sections, paragraphs, sentences, clauses, phrases, or other divisible part of this chapter since the same would have been enacted without the incorporation into this chapter of such unconstitutional or invalid chapter, section, paragraph, sentence, clause, phrase, or other divisible part.
(Ord. 19-20. Passed 11-4-20.)
