It is found and declared that there exist within the city properties with residential
and nonresidential structures that are substandard with respect to structural integrity
or maintenance. It is further found that certain conditions causing these structures
to be substandard adversely affect the economic well being of the city and are harmful
to the health, safety and welfare of city residents. These conditions include, but
are not limited to, the following: structural deterioration, lack of maintenance,
infestation, fire hazards, accumulating refuse on private property, storage of two
(2) or more unregistered vehicles (junk yard) and unsanitary conditions. It is further
found that certain of these substandard structures can be repaired, rehabilitated,
reconstructed or reused so as to provide decent, safe and sanitary housing and commercial
facilities, thereby eliminating, remedying, and preventing the adverse conditions
described above. It is further found that the lack of maintenance and progressive
deterioration of certain structures create blight and initiate slums, and that if
the same are not curtailed and removed, these undesirable conditions will grow and
spread, necessitating future expenditures of large amounts of public funds to correct
and eliminate.
