All exterior walls shall be free from holes, breaks, loose or rotting materials; and maintained weatherproofed and properly surface coated where required to prevent deterioration from any naturally-occurring cause. All exterior surfaces shall be covered with paint, finish or other surface coating so as to prevent such decay or deterioration. An exterior wall segment, facing or other distinguishable surface area determined by the Code Official to have more than twenty-five percent of its total area bare, peeling, flaking, pitted, corroded, or otherwise deteriorated shall be surface-coated. If the surface to be coated is a portion of a larger structure, such surface coating shall be compatible in color, texture and design with the entire structure. If the entire exterior surface of a structure is to be surface-coated, such surface coating shall be compatible in color, texture and design with similar structures in the immediate neighborhood.
All deteriorated or decayed exterior walls, doors, porches, floors, steps, railing, or parts or features thereof, shall be repaired, removed or replaced, as described herein.
