§ 25.03.120. Ordinary maintenance and repairs; correction of unsafe conditions.

A.

Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of any exterior feature of a designated property which does not involve a change in its design, material, or outer appearance. Ordinary maintenance and repair does not require a city building permit and typically includes work such as:

1.

Preparation of a wooden building for painting by pressure washing with water less than 600 p.s.i.;

2.

Painting and paint color;

3.

Minor repair of an existing wooden, vinyl, wrought iron, chain link or masonry fences that meet the municipal code;

4.

Removal, repair or installation of public sidewalks;

5.

Tuck pointing the building foundation if no change in appearance occurs (tuck pointing material must match the type and hardness of the mortar and brick in place);

6.

Chimney work if no change in appearance occurs;

7.

Typical residential type landscaping with plant materials or natural material used as a mulch; and

8.

Existing window repair.

B.

In any case where the City Building Official determines that there are emergency conditions dangerous and unsafe to life, health, or property involving a designated property, the Building Official may order the remedying of these conditions without review of the project by the Huron Board of Historic Preservation. The Building Official shall promptly notify the chair of the Huron Board of Historic Preservation of the emergency action.
