That certain document being marked and designated as the "International Property Maintenance Code" be and is hereby adopted as the Property Maintenance Code of the Borough for the control of buildings and structures as herein provided; and each and all of the regulations, provisions, penalties, conditions and terms of said International Property Maintenance Code are hereby referred to, adopted and made a part thereof, as if fully set out in this Part, with the additions, insertions, deletions and changes, if any, prescribed in § 5-102 of this Part.

From time to time, the International Property Maintenance Code is updated and modified.
