The purposes of this Exterior Property Maintenance Code are to protect the public health, safety, morals and welfare by establishing minimum standards to make all parcels and dwelling structures safe, sanitary, free from fire and health hazards, fit for human habitation and beneficial to the public welfare; to establish minimum standards governing the maintenance and condition of residential and nonresidential premises so as not to not constitute a blighting or deteriorating influence on the neighborhood community; to authorize the condemnation of structures which are unsafe or unfit for human habitation to fix certain responsibilities and duties upon the owners and operators; and to fix penalties for a violation of this Code.
