Whenever the Building Inspector and Village Board find any building
or part thereof within the Village to be, in their 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, they 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 Village. 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, a disclaimer shall be included in each
inspection report as follows: "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 material not specifically cited herein is expressed
or implied."
Private garages shall be built in accordance with the general
construction standards established in the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling
Code.
Each unit of a duplex shall have a separate water and sewer
service.
Before receiving a building permit, the owner or his agent shall
pay to the Village Treasurer a fee as set by the Village Board. This
permit fee shall apply to all building permits for all new construction
of any kind, for all mobile home placement or replacement and for
all repairs, alterations or demolition for which a building permit
is required. Commencing work before receiving a building permit shall
result in double fees being required.
A. There will be no building permit fee for state-inspected buildings
except for a site inspection fee as set by the Village Board to determine
compliance with Village Building Codes.
B. Fees for Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) inspections will be proposed
by the Building Inspector and approved by the Village Board.
[Amended 5-9-2000]
If any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter
or of the Wisconsin Administrative Code adopted by reference is adjudged
