Public nuisances are defined in the Definitions section of Article II herein. When
nuisance conditions or hazards degenerate or cumulatively impact on structures, dwellings,
or other buildings regulated by this Code, to the extent that repair, removal, securing,
vacating or demolition is necessary for the public health, safety and welfare, then
the code official, or his or her designee, or the Code Enforcement Board are authorized
to order the property owner or City agents to repair, remove, secure, vacate or demolish
such structures according to procedures outlined herein. These powers are hereby declared
remedial and essential for the public interest and it is intended that such powers
be liberally construed to effectuate the purposes stated herein.
