The reasons for requesting changes in the ordinance regulating treatment of party walls involved in razing operations are listed below with the section numbers of the proposed ordinance. Other sections are unchanged. Section l, paragraph a. Last sentence add to set a time limit for repair to adjacent building. Previous ordinance required work to be done, but did not establish a limit in time, thereby complicating enforcement. paragraph b. Walls that are to be covered by new building may be protected with temporary coverings for 60 day,s under present ordinance. Due to time required for construction, 90 days seems more reasonable. The Housing Authority has requested this be changed to two years, but as there is'some controversy, it is suggested that any extension of time beyond 90 days be taken to the Appeals Board. Section 2, paragraph a. A time limit of 60 days to fill depressions or foundations after wrecking has been objected to by the Housing Authority and a change is requested in nonresidePntial areas to two years . (See paragraph b) . paragraph b. Conditions under which an extension of time required for lot planting and filling may be granted by the Building Official. Al1 other extensions of time or variances from provisions of the ordinance would be processed through the Appeals Board. NOTE: Retroactive provisions have been removed from the ordinance because they are virtually impossible to enforce.
