The following applies to legally nonconforming structures or buildings, and legally nonconforming uses of structures, land, or structures and land in combination:
(A) Ordinary repairs and maintenance of any legally nonconforming structure or building may be completed, but must obtain proper permits. Repairs may include the replacement of interior walls, heating, fixtures, wiring, or plumbing; under the condition that the repairs and maintenance do not add to the nonconformity or add a nuisance.
(B) If a structure or portion of a structure were to become unsafe or unlawful due to lack of repairs or maintenance, and is declared by an authorized official to be unsafe or condemned due to physical condition; the building or structure shall not be restored, repaired or rebuilt within eight weeks of the declaration. In the event that an unsafe or condemned building or structure is not restored, repaired or rebuilt within the eight-week period of time, it will not be able to be used or occupied until such time that it is made to conform to all provisions of this chapter.
(C) If a building or structure becomes unsafe or unlawful due to physical condition and is razed, any new building or structure shall be built in conformity with the district in which it is located.
(D) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening, repairing, or restoring to a safe condition of any building or structure or part thereof declared to be unsafe by any official charged with protecting public safety upon order of such official.
