All responsible persons shall perform the following with respect to each structure they own, lease, rent or lawfully possess:

A. Maintain all exterior surfaces, including but not limited to doors, windows, door and window frames, cornices, porches, trim, balconies, decks, and fences, in good condition.

B. Protect exterior wood surfaces, other than decay-resistant woods, from the elements and decay with paint or other protective covering or treatment. If protection of the surface is compromised, restore adequate protection within a reasonable time; for example, remove peeling, flaking or chipped paint and repaint the compromised surface.

C. Cause all siding and masonry joints and joints between the building envelope and the perimeter of windows, doors, and skylights to be weather-resistant and watertight.

D. Coat all metal surfaces subject to rust or corrosion, except those designed to be stabilized by oxidation, to inhibit rust and corrosion, after first stabilizing any existing rust and corrosion. Remove oxidation stains from exterior surfaces.

E. Maintain all exterior walls free from moss, algae, dirt, grime, holes, breaks, and loose or decaying materials. Weatherproof and properly coat the surface of all exterior walls when required to prevent deterioration.

F. Maintain the roof and flashing of all structures so that they are sound, tight, free of moss, algae or defects that admit rain, attract pests or create a public nuisance. Maintain adequate roof drainage to prevent dampness and deterioration in the walls and inside the structure. Maintain roof drains, gutters, and downspouts in good repair and free from obstructions.
