[Amended 6-13-1988 by L.L. No. 4-1988]
Whenever any building or a part thereof may become insanitary
or for any reason endanger human health and the owner shall have failed
to comply with an order of the Code Compliance Supervisor to place
or put the same in a safe and sanitary condition, the Code Compliance
Supervisor shall issue an order, to be affixed conspicuously on the
building and served on the owner, agent, lessee or occupant thereof,
requiring all persons to vacate such building and discontinue its
use at such time as the Health Officer may determine, which time shall
be stated in said order. Any owner, agent, lessee or occupant of any
such building or part thereof who shall fail or refuse to comply with
such order to vacate shall be subject to the provisions and penalties
provided for violations of this Code[1] unless he complies with the requirements of the Code Compliance
Supervisor within the time stated in the order, and it shall thereafter
be unlawful to occupy or permit the occupancy of such house or part
thereof until such order has been complied with.
A.
Standard. It shall be the duty of every person who shall have contracted
or undertaken or shall be bound to heat or to furnish heat for any
building or portion thereof occupied as a home or place of residence
of one or more persons or as a business establishment where one or
more persons are employed to furnish heat for every occupied room
in such building or portion thereof so that a minimum temperature
of 68° F. may be maintained at all times between the hours
of 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. of each day whenever the outer or street
temperature shall fall below 50° F. When such building or
portion thereof shall be occupied as a business establishment only
and not for residence purposes, such minimum temperature need be maintained
during the usual working hours only.
B.
Responsibility. Whenever a building is heated by a furnace, boiler
or other apparatus under the control of the owner, agent or lessee
of such building, such owner, agent or lessee, in the absence of a
contract or agreement to the contrary, shall be deemed to have contracted,
undertaken or bound himself to furnish heat in accordance with the
provisions of this section.
No officer, board, corporation or other person or group of persons
owning or having the management or control of any potable water supply
furnished within the City shall permit any physical connection between
the distribution system of such supply and that of any other water
supply unless such other water supply is regularly examined as to
its quality by those in charge of such potable water supply to which
the connection is made and is also found to be potable. This prohibition
shall apply to all water distribution systems, either inside or outside,
of any building or buildings.
If a potable water supply is used as an auxiliary supply delivered to an elevated tank or to a suction tank, which tank is also supplied with water from a source with which cross-connections are not permitted by § 187-5 of this chapter, such tank shall be open to atmospheric pressure, and the potable water supply shall be discharged at an elevation above the high water line of the tank.
A.
It shall be the duty of the owner of every habitable building now
or hereafter erected upon any land adjacent or accessible to a public
sewer to cause said building to be properly connected with such sewer,
and no house hereafter erected shall be inhabited, occupied or used
by any person before the same shall be connected with a public sewer
if adjacent or accessible.
B.
No person shall construct or maintain any vault, privy or cesspool
for receiving any excrement, sewage or slops on any premises adjacent
or accessible to a public sewer.
A.
Notice. Whenever the City inspector shall find that any building
is connected with an insufficient or improperly constructed drain
or sewer or that the connection between any building and any drain
or sewer is improperly or insufficiently made or maintained, he shall
serve a notice upon the owner of such real property.
B.
Contents. The notice shall specify the work to be done in order to connect the building with a properly constructed drain or sewer or to place such connections in a proper and safe condition and shall fix the time within which such work shall be done. If the work is not done within the time so fixed, the provisions of Chapter 226 of this Code shall apply.
