§ 64-10. Grounds for determination of unfitness.

The Public Officer or officers charged with the enforcement of this chapter may determine that a building is unfit for human habitation or occupancy or use if he finds that conditions exist in such building which are dangerous or injurious to the health or safety of the occupants of such building, the occupants of neighboring buildings or other residents of such municipality. Such conditions may include the following (without limiting the generality of the foregoing): defects therein increasing the hazard of fire, accident or other calamities; lack of adequate ventilation, light or sanitary facilities; dilapidation, disrepair, structural defects and uncleanliness. Nothing in this section shall be construed to place any limitations upon the Council in establishing additional standards to guide the Public Officer in determining the fitness of a building for human habitation or occupancy or use. Such additional standards may be established whenever circumstances seem to require the same by resolution of the Council duly adopted under the provisions of this chapter.
