Whenever the Building Inspector or Common Council finds any
building or part thereof within the City of New Lisbon to be, in his
or its judgment, so old, dilapidated or out of repair as to be dangerous,
unsafe, unsanitary or otherwise unfit for human occupancy or use and
so that it would be unreasonable to repair the same, the Building
Inspector or Common Council shall order the owner to raze and remove
such building or part thereof or, if it can be made safe by repairs,
to repair and make safe and sanitary, or to raze and remove at the
owner's option. Such order and proceedings shall be as provided
in § 66.0413, Wis. Stats.
The purpose of the inspections under this chapter is to improve
the quality of housing in the City of New Lisbon. The inspections
and the reports and findings issued after the inspections are not
intended as, nor are they to be construed as, a guarantee. In order
to so advise owners and other interested persons, the following disclaimer
shall be applicable to all inspections under this chapter: "These
findings of inspection contained herein are intended to report conditions
of noncompliance with code standards that are readily apparent at
the time of inspection. The inspection does not involve a detailed
examination of the mechanical systems or the closed structural and
nonstructural elements of the building and premises. No warranty of
the operation, use or durability of equipment and materials not specifically
cited herein is expressed or implied."
City streets are to be kept clean of dirt and debris from all construction sites. The primary contractor for any construction project shall be responsible for sweeping streets of debris within 24 hours of the incident. The City of New Lisbon will clean said street(s) if the work is not done within 24 hours of the incident and charge the current established costs to the contractor for the work. Failure to pay said costs within 30 days of receipt of the billing shall be deemed a violation of this section and be subject to the penalty provisions of §
1-4 of this Code.
No building hereafter constructed or altered into a dwelling
shall be occupied in whole or in part for human habitation until the
issuance of a certificate by the Building Inspector affirming that
such dwelling conforms in all respects to the requirements of this
chapter. Such certificate shall be applied for coincidentally with
the application for a building permit and shall be issued not more
than 10 days after the lawful erection or alteration is complete and
final inspection has been made. This section may be modified at the
direction of the Building Inspector.
Fees for permits under this chapter shall be established by
resolution of the Common Council.
If any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter,
or of the Wisconsin Administrative Code adopted by reference, is adjudged
unconstitutional or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction,
the remaining provisions shall not be affected.
