§ 17.52.130. Maintenance.

Latest version.

Historic district structures, sites, and landmarks shall be kept in good repair by the property owner so as to not detract from their exterior appearance. Deterioration caused by deliberate neglect of maintenance or repairs shall not be considered valid grounds for the approval of a demolition permit application.

The zoning administrator shall advise the historic preservation commission of cases of deliberate neglect or failure to meet minimum building code standards. The historical commission and the historic preservation consultant shall review such cases and make recommendations to the zoning administrator.

The zoning administrator shall decide if maintenance is necessary. The owner shall be notified and a public hearing will be held by the historic preservation commission.

If the commission finds that deliberate neglect is occurring, the owner shall be cited and shall have 90 days to make the specific repairs necessary to correct the neglect.

If the repairs are not completed within 90 days the City of Willcox may make the repairs and place a lien for the expenses against the property owner.
