§ 130.001 DANGEROUS CONDITIONS ON PREMISES.
   (A)   It is illegal and declared to be a nuisance to have any building or structure within the village which is unfit for human use.
   (B)   The designation of buildings as unfit for human use and the procedure for the determination and placarding of such unfit buildings shall be carried out in compliance with the following requirements.
      (1)   Any building which shall be found to have any of the following defects shall be declared as unfit for human use and shall be so designated and placarded by the designated village officer:
         (a)   One which is so damaged, decayed, dilapidated, unsanitary, unsafe or vermin-infested that it creates a serious hazard to the health or safety of the occupants or the public;
         (b)   One which lacks lumination, ventilation or sanitation facilities adequate to protect the health and safety of the occupants or the public; and/or
         (c)   One which, because of its general condition or location, is unsanitary or otherwise dangerous to the health or safety of the occupants or of the general public.

The village officer shall remove such placard only when the defects upon which the determination and placarding action was based have been eliminated, and after the dwelling or dwelling unit has been inspected and been found to comply in all respects with the requirements of this subchapter.
      (4)   No person shall deface or remove the placard from any building which has been determined as unfit for human use and placarded as such, except as provided in division (B)(3) above.

§ 130.002 RECEPTACLES TO BE PROVIDED.
   (A)   The owner or occupant, lessee or contract for deed buyer, of any single-family residence or duplex property shall provide, or cause to be provided a receptacle or receptacles that are:

   (B)   The owner, title holder of record or contract for deed buyer of any multiple-dwelling property with three or more dwelling units shall provide and maintain clean and in good repair receptacles commonly known as dumpsters. The dumpsters shall include lids which shall be kept closed at all times, except when garbage is being deposited in the dumpsters or when the dumpster is being emptied. Dumpster capacity shall be based on the number of dwelling units as follows:
      (1)   One or more cubic yards for three to four dwelling units;

On receipt of the petition the Administrator or a designee shall inspect the premises. If the director of a designee decides that the receptacle facilities for the multiple-dwelling residence are adequate and do not present a hazard to the public health and safety, a permit to exempt the residence from the dumpster requirement shall be issued. This permit may be revoked if, at any time, the receptacle facilities become inadequate for the residence or present a hazard to the public health and safety.
   (D)   In all cases, it shall be the ultimate responsibility of the owner, title holder or contract for deed buyer to provide the proper receptacles for the premises.
