[Adopted 1-3-2012 (§ 4-6 of the 2010 Code)]
No tenant, occupant, owner or other person having the care of any building or lot of land bordering on any sidewalk on any public or private way located in any area designed as a business district or central business district by any zoning ordinance of the City shall cause, permit, or suffer any window or door constructed of glass or other transparent material located within such district to stand in a shattered, cracked or broken condition or to be secured by temporary means such as untreated wood, paper, tape, foil, tarping, webbing or similar material for a period in excess of 10 days. This provision shall also apply to any opaque exterior wall or door which shall be broken and exposed to the elements or secured in such temporary manner as described herein. Any violation of this section shall be enforced in accordance with § 1-5 and/or 1-6 of these Revised Ordinances. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to prohibit the permanent replacement of a door or window with a finished opaque wall, except in locations under the jurisdiction of the Historic District Commission.
