(A) The means and methods of enforcement, plus the appeals process, is also consistent with the other current adopted Codes on file in the city ordinance book. In general, the IPMC addresses minimum safety standards for existing buildings and addresses the exterior of buildings and the properties on which buildings are located. This Code is consistent with the city’s public nuisance ordinances regarding unlicensed/inoperable vehicles and the accumulation of rubbish and garbage. Again, this is a tool that can be used to abate a nuisance.
(B) Nothing in this subchapter or in the Property Maintenance Code hereby adopted shall be construed to affect any suit or proceeding impending in any court, or any rights acquired, or liability incurred, or any cause or causes of action acquired or existing, under any act or ordinance; nor shall any just or legal right or remedy or any character be lost, impaired, or affected by this subchapter.
