or electrical installation, moving or demolishing, or anything affecting
the fire hazards or safety of any building or structure.
B.

Chapter SPS 316, Electrical Code.
A.
Portions of state code adopted. The State of Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling
Code provisions under the Department of Safety and Professional Services
are hereby adopted and made a part of this chapter.
B.
Dwellings. The term "dwellings" as used in this section includes
every building occupied exclusively as a residence.
Whenever the Village finds any building or part thereof within
the Village to be in 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, and shall order the owner, after consulting with the Village
Board, 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 this code is to allow the Village to determine
the value of the property for tax purposes and to improve the quality
of housing in the Village. While the Village reserves the right to
conduct inspections and investigations, if it has probable cause to
believe the provisions of this chapter have been violated, the Village
assumes no duty to conduct routine inspections or to determine that
improvements made pursuant to a permit issued under this chapter do
in fact comply with the State of Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code.
Such compliance is solely the responsibility of the person or persons
making the improvements.
A.
Any building or structure hereafter erected, enlarged, altered or repaired, or any use hereafter established, in violation of the provisions of this chapter shall be deemed an unlawful building, structure or use. The Village Clerk/Treasurer shall promptly report all such violations to the Village Attorney, who shall bring an action to enjoin the erection, enlargement, alteration, repair or moving of such building or structure of the establishment of such use, or to cause such building, structure or use to be removed and may also be subject to a penalty as provided in § 1-2 of this Code. In any such action, the fact that a permit was issued shall not constitute a defense, nor shall any error, oversight or dereliction of duty on the part of the Village Clerk/Treasurer constitute a defense.
B.
Compliance with the provisions of this chapter may also be enforced
by injunctional order at the suit of the owner or owners of any real
estate within the jurisdiction of this chapter.
