Whenever the Building Inspector and Village Board find any building
or part thereof within the Village to be in their 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, they 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 Village. 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,
a disclaimer shall be included in each inspection report as follows: "The
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."
Private garages shall be built in accordance with the general construction
standards established in the Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code.
Each unit of a duplex shall have separate water and sewer services.
The fees for all building, plumbing, heating and electric permits shall
be established by resolution of the Village Board.
If any section, clause, provision or portion of this chapter, or of
the Wisconsin Administrative Code adopted by reference, is adjudged unconstitutional
or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions
shall not be affected.
