Whenever the City Council finds any building or part thereof
within the City 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, it shall order the owner 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 the inspections under this chapter is to improve
the quality of housing in the City of Amery. The inspections and the
reports and findings issued after the inspections are not intended
as, nor are they to be construed as, a guarantee. In order to so advise
owners and other interested persons, the following disclaimer shall
be applicable to all inspections under this chapter: "These findings
of inspection contained herein are intended to report conditions of
noncompliance with code standards that are readily apparent at the
time of inspection. The inspection does not involve a detailed examination
of the mechanical systems or the closed structural and nonstructural
elements of the building and premises. No warranty of the operation,
use or durability of equipment and materials not specifically cited
herein is expressed or implied."
City streets are to be kept clean of dirt and debris from all construction sites. The primary contractor for any construction project shall be responsible for sweeping streets of debris within 24 hours of the incident. The City of Amery will clean said street(s) if the work is not done within 24 hours of the incident and charge the current established costs to the contractor for the work. Failure to pay said costs within 30 days of receipt of the billing shall be deemed a violation of this section and be subject to the penalty provisions of §
1-5 of this Code.
