§ 300-170 Intent.

The exterior of all buildings and structures shall be maintained in good repair, structurally sound and sanitary so as not to pose a threat to the public health, safety or welfare. The provisions in this article are not intended to supplant the provisions of the New York State Property Maintenance Code, but rather are merely intended to provide an additional enforcement procedure by the Zoning Officer who is not authorized to enforce the New York State Property Maintenance Code.

§ 300-171 Protective treatment for exterior surfaces.

The exterior surfaces of all buildings and structures, including but not limited to doors, door and window frames, stairways, porches, trim, balconies, decks and fences, shall be maintained in good condition.

Exterior wood surfaces, other than decay-resistant woods, shall be protected from the elements and decay by painting or other protective covering or treatment. Peeling, flaking and chipped paint shall be eliminated and surfaces repainted.

All siding and masonry joints as well as those between the building envelope and the perimeter of windows, doors and skylights shall be maintained weather-resistant and watertight.

All metal surfaces subject to rust or corrosion shall be stabilized and coated to inhibit such rust and corrosion. Oxidation stains shall be removed from exterior surfaces. Surfaces designed to stabilize by oxidation are exempt from this requirement.

§ 300-172 through § 300-179. (Reserved)
