The purpose of Chapter 1368 is to maintain, preserve and improve the stock of non-residential buildings in the City. To accomplish this, this article sets out minimum standards for the exterior maintenance of all non-residential buildings. In carrying out this purpose, it is the intention of the City Council to exercise its full powers to protect public health, safety, and welfare, whether the powers so exercised are derived from the Constitution, state law or the City Charter.
