This chapter shall be cited as and may be referred to hereinafter as
the "Code Enforcement Bureau Law." This chapter shall relate to the Incorporated
Village of Spring Valley.
The Board of Trustees of the Village of Spring Valley is aware that
there are or may be in the future dwelling structures in the Village of Spring
Valley which are so dilapidated, unsafe, dangerous, unhygienic or unsanitary
as to constitute a menace to the health and safety of residents of the Village
of Spring Valley, and that such dwelling structures may very well be, either
now or in the future, in violation of such housing standards as are provided
for in the various laws composing the Code of the Village of Spring Valley
and other applicable state and local laws having jurisdiction over such housing.
Because of this, the Board of Trustees has deemed it necessary to create a
Code Enforcement Bureau for the Village of Spring Valley and to authorize,
through such Bureau, the systematic inspection of dwellings and enforcement
of such laws as compose the Code of the Village of Spring Valley and of other
applicable state and local laws to the end that the housing standards of the
Village of Spring Valley, where necessary, may be raised to and maintained
at a decent level for the betterment and welfare of all of the residents of
the Village of Spring Valley.
This chapter shall apply but not be limited to residential premises
as follows:
A. Lots, plots or parcels of land on which residential buildings,
buildings of mixed occupancy or accessory structures are located.
B. Residential buildings, including one- and two-family
dwellings and multiple dwellings.
