The City Council hereby declares that the uncontrolled accumulation of scrap materials and dilapidated outbuildings, sheds or similar structures, whether accessory to a principal structure or not, and appurtenances on any premises constitutes a danger to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the city in that such accumulation and conditions can furnish shelter and breeding places for vermin; present physical dangers to the safety and well-being of children and other citizens; pose a danger of fire; and depreciate property values or cause a loss of business by detracting from the appearance and character of residential and commercial neighborhoods.
