(A) This subchapter shall be known and may be cited as the “Village of Lake Orion Property Maintenance Ordinance.”
(B) In the Council's considerations and deliberations with respect to the adoption of this subchapter, the Council has determined that the protection and promotion of the public health, safety and welfare requires the adoption of regulations that apply to existing residential and nonresidential structures, including, without limitation, in the following respect:
(1) Establishing minimum maintenance standards.
(2) Providing for the completion of structures, and ongoing maintenance, in light of the recognition that if a significant number of structures in a given area were not completed, or existed in a condition of disrepair for extended periods of time, such conditions could lead to a state of frustration and disincentive in and to other property owners in the area in relation to completion and maintenance of other properties, and, would result in the public nuisance condition of wide-spread reduction of property values, deterioration of existing structures, and the general blighting of the village and its residents and property.
(3) Fixing the responsibilities of owners, operators, and occupants of all structures.
(4) Providing for administration, enforcement and penalties.
