The purpose of this title is to provide a means for timely abatement of code enforcement violations in order to protect the health and safety of the public, to foster neighborhood stability, to preserve the appearance, character and beauty of neighborhoods, to encourage community pride, to preserve the value of property, and to protect the general welfare of the city and its citizens, businesses and visitors. This title provides for progressive enforcement measures to abate violations; the most aggressive forms of enforcement are generally reserved for the most recalcitrant violators.
