Every person owning or occupying any property in the city shall keep such property in a clean and sanitary condition and shall not cause or permit solid waste to collect or accumulate upon; provided, however, that this provision shall not be construed to interfere with any customer keeping building materials upon property during the construction, reconstruction, or repair of a building or structure thereon under a valid building permit, nor with the keeping of wood neatly piled upon such property for household use.
