(A) Applicability.
(1) Buildings and facilities covered: this Code applies to all “public facilities” and “multi-story housing units” as defined and governed by the EBA and located, in whole or in part, within the legal geographic boundaries of the state, unless specifically exempted within the Code.
(2) The fact that a building or facility governed by the EBA is also a facility financed by federal funds is no bar to the application of this Code.
(3) This Code is applicable when work involving new construction, alterations, additions, historic preservation, restoration, or reconstruction in whole or in part begins after the effective date of this Code. The Code becomes enforceable with the signing of a construction contract, issuance of an official authorization or permit for construction, or the start of construction, whichever occurs first.
(B) Enforcement.
(1) Compliance. It shall be a condition precedent to the acquisition of a building permit in the city for all applicable facilities to comply with all the provisions of this section in planning construction of new buildings or structures or in partial improvement of existing buildings or structures.
(2) Inspection duties. It shall be the duty of the Zoning Administrator, or his or her designee, to inspect all buildings and structures to which this section is applicable and seek enforcement of the terms and provisions of this section.
(3) Conflict. The provisions of this section shall take precedence when they are in conflict with existing building ordinances.
(4) Violations and penalties. Any person, firm or corporation who shall violation any provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not less than $50 nor more than $500. Each day the violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense.
