Whenever the Building Inspector or Village Board finds any building
or part thereof within the Village 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, he or it 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 of East Troy. 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."
