Section 4.70.090 Maintenance of property during construction

During repair, enlargement, construction, remodel, improvement or alteration, all property shall be maintained in a reasonably clean and well-kept manner. All lumber and building materials shall be neatly piled or stacked in a safe manner.

All lumber and materials used in conjunction with a residential addition, remodel or repair shall be stored in the rear yard of the residential property or inside the building construction perimeter. Exception: Building materials may be stored in a front yard, as long as a safety hazard is not created, for a period not to exceed 30 days.

The exterior walls and roofs of buildings or structures in connection with a residential addition, remodel or repair shall be covered with finished materials, in accordance with city-approved plans and the Building Code within six (6) months from the commencement of construction. A waiver of this requirement may be obtained from the building official or his/her designated representative if the construction is screened from view from adjacent private occupied property, public property or public right of way with fencing materials approved by the Planning and Building Director.
