Article X, Parker-Gray District

Other

• Boarding of vacant building

  The boarding of a vacant building or structure shall constitute the alteration of the exterior architectural features of such building or structure.

• Demolition for unsafe buildings

  Nothing in this Article X shall apply to or in any way prevent the moving, removing, capsulating or demolition in whole or in part of any building or structure in the city which is in such a dangerous, hazardous or unsafe condition that it has been ordered demolished by the code or building official.

• Permitted maintenance

  Exterior architectural features may be the subject of ordinary maintenance, including repair and replacement with the same design, color and material without the necessity of a certificate of appropriateness if, upon review by the director or his designee, it is found that such maintenance does not result in the substantial removal of an exterior feature that is considered to have historic and/or architectural significance; and does not perpetuate a condition or treatment that is considered to be, by board of architectural review policy, inappropriate or incompatible with the historic surroundings of the Parker-Gray District.

• Required maintenance

  All buildings and structures within the Parker-Gray District shall be maintained in good repair, structurally sound, and reasonably protected against decay and deterioration in compliance with Volume II — Building Maintenance Code, of the Uniform Statewide Building Code.
