   In undertaking enforcement of this Article, the City, including, but not limited to, the Department, is assuming an undertaking only to promote the general welfare. It is not assuming, nor is it imposing on its officers and employees, an obligation for breach of which it is liable in money damages to any Person who claims that such breach proximately caused injury. The obligations this Article imposes on City officials are intended to be directive only. The provisions of this Article shall not be invalidated to the extent City officials do not comply with any obligation imposed herein.
