Any person or company aggrieved by an order, decision or determination of the Building Official relative to the application of the Residential Code of Ohio for One-, Two-, and Three- Family Dwellings may appeal to the Planning and Zoning Commission.
(Ord. 20-06. Passed 6-26-06.)
The purpose of the Ohio Building Code as adopted herein is:
(a) To provide uniform minimum standards and requirements for the erection, construction, repair, alteration and maintenance of buildings, including construction of industrialized units. Such standards shall relate to the conservation of energy, safety and sanitation of buildings for their intended use and occupancy.
(b) Formulate such standards and requirements, so far as is practicable, in terms of performance objectives, so as to make adequate performance for the use intended the test of acceptability.
(c) Permit to the fullest extent feasible, the use of materials and technical methods, devices and improvements, including the use of industrialized units which tend to reduce the cost of construction and erection without affecting minimum requirements for the health, safety and security of the occupants or users of buildings or industrialized units and without preferential treatment of types or classes of materials or products or methods of construction.
(d) Encourage, so far as may be practicable, the standardization of construction practices, methods, equipment, material and techniques, including methods employed to produce industrialized units.
(e) The Ohio Building Code is the primary interpretation; all other codes are building standards. (Ord. 36-03. Passed 5-19-03.)
Any person, firm, or corporation which violates or fails to comply with any provision of this Part Thirteen -–Building Code for which no other penalty has been provided, or fails to comply with any order or regulation made thereunder, or builds in violation of a building permit or certificate issued thereunder shall be guilty of a misdemeanor of the fourth degree for each and every violation and noncompliance. A separate offense shall be deemed committed each day during or on which an offense occurs or continues. The imposition of a penalty shall not excuse the violation or permit it to continue and the application of such penalty shall be held to prevent the enforced removal or prohibited conditions.
