To provide a just, equitable and practical method, to be cumulative with and in addition to, any other remedy provided by the International Building Code and the Uniform Code for the Abatement of Dangerous Buildings, whereby buildings or structures that are

boarded-up, from any cause, endanger the life, limb, health, morals, property, safety, or welfare of the general public or their occupants, shall constitute a public nuisance. Boarded-up buildings shall be rehabilitated or repaired to render the building in compliance with the intended occupancy requirements, or demolished if beyond repair. The City shall determine the time limit for demolition.

The City Manager is authorized to modify or waive this requirement due to special circumstances, including natural disasters, fire damage, flooding, landslides, loss of security or any other reason deemed appropriate.

When allowed, the property owner shall post a cash deposit or surety bond to guarantee rehabilitation or demolition as required by the City. Boarded-up buildings shall be maintained and protected from vandalism at all times.

Excessive deterioration is defined as pieces of pavement that move freely and are not attached to the paved surface. Paved surfaces shall be maintained free of dust, gravel, sand, debris and soil to prevent damage to public and private property. Paved parking lots shall be striped to delineate parking spaces from drive lanes and to identify the parking spaces for the disabled. The City shall determine the width, length and location of parking lot striping.
