This chapter shall be known as "The Real Property Maintenance Code of the City of North Olmsted," or just "The Real Property Maintenance Code," and may be refened to hereafter in this chapter as "this Code". 1363.02 POLICY. Council and the Administration of the City are deeply concerned about environmental problems developing within closely built-up urban azeas. It is the desire of Council, therefore, to provide for the residents of the City a clean, healthy, safe and protected environment in which to live. There have been found to exist within the City, premises and structures used both residential and nonresidential, which are substandard, and that such conditions as viewed exhibit: exterior structural deterioration; lack of maintenance and appearance of premises and land azeas; a disregard for proper maintenance of residential and business areas as well as industrial property areas including storage of equipment and supplies; existence of fire hazards and unsightly, unsanitary conditions which constitute a menace and threat to the health, safety, morals, public welfare, comfort and well-being of the people of the City. It is hereby determined and declared by Council that because of the lack of property maintenance of the exterior of structures and premises, and permissive and progressive property deterioration, certain properties within the City are creating blighting conditions, initiating slums and fostering an unsanitary and unsightly environment. Council believes that unless these blighting, deteriorating, unsanitary and unsightly condidons, factors and characteristics aze curtailed, removed and prevented from occurring in the future, they will lead to the continuation, - id aggravation of urban blight.
