Part 5 — RESTRICTION FROM USE OR OCCUPANCY

For the purpose of this Code, an order to "restrict from use or occupancy" includes either total or partial restriction from use or occupancy of either all or some specified portion of a building, structure or property. The methods which may be used for such restriction from use or occupancy include, but are not limited to the construction, erection, installation and maintenance of such fencing, enclosures, barricades and/or other protective devices, used for the purpose of closing, barring, boarding, locking and or otherwise securing all means of access to a property, building or structure as will effectively prevent entry into the building or structure or onto the property by unauthorized persons and effectively prevent any use or occupancy thereof.

(Ord. 21971.)

Whenever any property, building, or structure is ordered restricted from use or occupancy, the following notice shall be posted. Said notice may be posted at or upon each entrance or exit of the property, building, or structure in substantially the following form:

Whenever the notice described in Section 17.02.460 is posted, no person shall remain in or on or enter the property, building, or structure which has been so posted, except that entry may be made to perform abatement actions under permit. Whenever such abatement actions require any permits, such required permits shall be obtained prior to the commencement of any such abatement actions. No person shall remove or deface any such notice after it is posted until the required abatement actions have been completed and inspected and approved by the city.
