In addition to all conditions and requirements of this Building and Housing Code, the requirements of the International Property Maintenance Code, 2018 shall be adopted throughout the City and shall serve as the Property Maintenance Code of the City for the control of existing buildings and structures. This Property Maintenance Code shall provide standards for supplied utilities and facilities and other physical things and conditions essential to ensure that structures are safe, sanitary and fit for occupancy and use, and for the condemnation of buildings and structures unfit for human occupancy and use, and for the demolition of such structures. Pursuant to Ohio R.C. 731.231, the requirements of the International Property Maintenance Code are hereby incorporated and made a part of this Building and Housing Code as if the same were written herein in their entirety. In case of a conflict between such requirements, the stricter provision shall prevail.
