This code shall constitute minimum requirements and standards for residential premises, structures, equipment, and facilities governed by the Building Code of the City of North Olmsted ("the City") for safe and sanitary maintenance for protection from the elements, life safety, and safety from fire and other hazards. This code is intended to define the responsibility of owners and operators; the occupancy conditions for existing structures and premises; and for administration, enforcement and penalties.
This code shall be construed to secure its expressed intent, which is to ensure public health, safety and welfare insofar as they are affected by the continued occupancy and lack of interior maintenance of interior structures and premises. Existing structures and premises that do not comply with these provisions shall be altered or repaired to provide a minimum level of health and safety as required herein.
If a section, subsection, sentence, clause or phrase of Chapter 1364 is, for any reason, held to be unauthorized or unconstitutional, such section shall be stricken or modified by the Court, and such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this code.
