Sec. 518.504. - Maintenance.

All buildings, structures and premises regulated by this Part, both existing and new, and all parts thereof, shall be maintained in a safe, sanitary and good condition, and so as not to constitute a blighting influence on the City nor an element leading to the progressive deterioration of the Section of Downtown Jacksonville in which they are situated. All devices or safeguards required by applicable codes when the building or structure was erected, altered or repaired shall be maintained in good working order. For purposes of this Part, owners and occupants shall be equally responsible for the maintenance of buildings, structures and exterior premises as required by this Part whether or not such responsibility has been assigned to and accepted by another party.
