(a) Purpose and Intent. It is the purpose and intent of this section to eliminate nuisances
in the city. Nuisances, such as dilapidated buildings, overgrowth, debris, trash, stagnant
pools of water, property having defective weather protection and vacant or abandoned
buildings, cause and contribute to blight within neighborhoods and commercial areas of the
city and adversely affect the property values for adjacent and surrounding property. Such
nuisances on property also impair the public health and safety. This ordinance is intended to
further the objectives of and to act in concert with any existing state or local laws.
