The provisions of the Exterior Property Maintenance Code shall apply to all premises and structures within the City limits used for human habitation, commercial purposes, industrial purposes, garages or accessory structures which are now or may become in the future substandard with respect to structure, maintenance, proper drainage and sanitary conditions, or other similar conditions which otherwise constitute a public nuisance. The existence of such conditions, factors or characteristics adversely affects public health, safety, morals and general welfare and leads to the continuation, extension and aggravation of blight and its attendant negative effect on surrounding property values. Therefore, adequate protection of the public requires the establishment and enforcement of these property maintenance standards.
