of "dangerous fireworks" that can result from persistent or repeated
failures to comply with the provisions of this Code and the effect
of such conditions or activities on the safety and the use and enjoyment
of surrounding properties and to the public health, safety and welfare,

real property for all violations of this Code existing on their residential
