A.Â
This chapter shall be known as the "Unsafe Buildings and Property
Maintenance Local Law of the Village of Asharoken."
B.Â
It is the intent of the Village of Asharoken to permit the Board
of Trustees to take remedial action regarding unsightly, dangerous
or unsafe conditions of property, buildings and structures located
within the Village of Asharoken. The Board of Trustees of the Village
of Asharoken finds that such unsightly, dangerous or unsafe conditions
of property, buildings or structures are a detriment to adjoining
buildings, properties and neighborhoods, constituting a nuisance and
a threat to the physical well-being of the residents of the Village
of Asharoken. Such conditions interfere with the promotion of good
order, peace, health, safety and welfare of the residents of the Village
of Asharoken and invite vandalism and necessitate additional police
protection for the security of said property, property owners and
other residents of the Village of Asharoken.
