§ 21-31. Purpose.

Latest version.

The mayor and council declare and find that within the city limits, there are vacant real properties that are in an unsafe, dangerous, or unsecure condition which need to be cured of code violation, made safe, and if determined necessary by the chief of police, and secured. Such properties pose a danger to the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens of the city by increasing neighborhood blight, creating fire and other hazards to adjoining properties, attracting criminal activities, and creating an attractive nuisance to children. For all of these reasons, it is essential to public health, safety and welfare that such properties be properly maintained, cured of code violations and secured.
