A. It is a public nuisance to have a fence or similar structure with any barbed wire, razor wire or similar wire located within five feet of any public sidewalk unless the barbed wire, razor wire or similar wire is located at a height greater than eight feet above the ground. It is provided, however, that any fence legally constructed and installed before April 12, 2003, shall be exempt from the provisions hereof, so long as any barbed wire, razor wire or similar wire on or affixed to the fence is located at a height of not less than six feet, and so long as no barbed wire, razor wire or similar wire on the fence projects beyond or intrudes past the boundary of the property on which the fence or similar structure is located.

B. It is a public nuisance for any vacant, unused, or unoccupied building or structure within the city to have any broken, missing, or open doors, windows, or other openings, allows access by unauthorized persons or the general public.

C. A building or structure, whether occupied or not, will also be considered a public nuisance if it has exterior elements that are defective, decayed or will in any way contribute to the significant degradation of the building, and; if those exterior elements are not repaired or otherwise abated, the building, within a relatively short period of time, will become unsafe or make the building or structure uninhabitable.
