On any non-conforming structure or portion of a structure containing a non-conforming use, repairs and maintenance may be done as needed including, but not limited to, the replacement of non-bearing walls, fixtures, wiring or plumbing; provided that, the square footage of when it became non-conforming shall not be increased. Nothing in this subchapter shall be deemed to prevent the strengthening or restoring to a safe condition of any building or part thereof declared to be unsafe by any official charged with protecting the public safety, upon order of such official. If a non-conforming structure or portion of a structure containing a non-conforming use becomes physically unsafe or unlawful by reason of physical condition, it shall not thereafter be restored, repaired or rebuilt, except in conformity with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
