(A) All foundations of every building or structure shall be structurally sound and in good repair, and free of loose, missing or deteriorated mortar, damaged, loose or missing bricks, flaking tiles and other deteriorated foundation materials.
(B) All foundations of every building shall be maintained in such condition as to prevent the accumulation of water within the space enclosed by such foundations and to prevent the leakage or seepage of water into the basement.
(C) All areas of the foundations which evidence leaning, bowing or cracking shall be a violation of this PMC. However, the receipt of a written evaluation from a registered engineer that the basement condition has stabilized or is not likely to worsen shall be prima facie proof that a violation does not exist, and such written evaluation shall become a part of the inspection report.
(D) All openings into the foundations of every building shall be protected against the entrance of vermin, rodents and other pests.
(E) Where parts of buildings supported on masonry piers, foundations or footers require substantial repair or replacement due to sagging, settling or failure of such support, the same shall be replaced with a foundation conforming to the provisions of the City Building Code.
