A.
Subject to the provisions of the Fire Code and Existing Structures Code, provided for in Sections 205.010 and 500.030 of this Code, as amended, it shall be unlawful for the owner, lessee or occupant of any building or structure within the City of Richmond Heights, Missouri, to cause or permit any window or door thereof to be boarded up or otherwise sealed by any opaque covering, except as follows:

In the case of a broken window or door, such window or door may be
boarded up for a period not in excess of thirty (30) days;
2.
In the case of a building or occupied unit thereof which has been
damaged by fire, windstorm or other catastrophe to the extent that
it has been rendered unusable or unfit to occupy as a whole, the building
or unit may be boarded up for a period not in excess of ninety (90)
days, provided however, that the Building Commissioner may extend
such period by an order in writing upon application of the property
owner for good cause shown; or
3.
Windows and/or doors may be boarded up pursuant to the terms of a
building permit issued to the property owner under this Code.
