[Amended 6-13-1988 by L.L. No. 4-1988]
Whenever any building or a part thereof may become insanitary
or for any reason endanger human health and the owner shall have failed
to comply with an order of the Code Compliance Supervisor to place
or put the same in a safe and sanitary condition, the Code Compliance
Supervisor shall issue an order, to be affixed conspicuously on the
building and served on the owner, agent, lessee or occupant thereof,
requiring all persons to vacate such building and discontinue its
use at such time as the Health Officer may determine, which time shall
be stated in said order. Any owner, agent, lessee or occupant of any
such building or part thereof who shall fail or refuse to comply with
such order to vacate shall be subject to the provisions and penalties
provided for violations of this Code unless he complies with the requirements of the Code Compliance
Supervisor within the time stated in the order, and it shall thereafter
be unlawful to occupy or permit the occupancy of such house or part
thereof until such order has been complied with.
No officer, board, corporation or other person or group of persons
owning or having the management or control of any potable water supply
furnished within the City shall permit any physical connection between
the distribution system of such supply and that of any other water
supply unless such other water supply is regularly examined as to
its quality by those in charge of such potable water supply to which
the connection is made and is also found to be potable. This prohibition
shall apply to all water distribution systems, either inside or outside,
of any building or buildings.
If a potable water supply is used as an auxiliary supply delivered to an elevated tank or to a suction tank, which tank is also supplied with water from a source with which cross-connections are not permitted by §
187-5 of this chapter, such tank shall be open to atmospheric pressure, and the potable water supply shall be discharged at an elevation above the high water line of the tank.
