(a) It is unlawful for any person to permit or maintain any use or condition on property that does not meet the requirements of this code or to maintain or permit any public nuisance on property governed by this code.
(b) Responsibilities defined. The owner of a building, structure, or real property governed by this code shall be liable for violations of this code. The duty to comply with this code also extends to the occupants of any building and persons in possession of real property governed by this code. However, the imposition of liability for violations of this code against the occupants of a building or structure or persons in possession of real property does not relieve the owner of a building, structure, or real property from the responsibility to comply with this code or any penalties imposed by this code.
(c) This code is not intended to create a procedure for the elimination of private nuisances by the city. All members of the public shall be responsible for resolving disputes arising from private nuisances through the appropriate legal process.
