Maintenance of Commercial Parking Areas

Title 9, Chapter 92.50

It is a nuisance and shall be deemed unlawful for any owner or lessor occupant of a premises including, but not limited to, shopping centers, retail establishments, clubs, apartments or office complexes, warehouses, and the like which have vehicle access, parking areas and pedestrian walkways, to maintain such areas or cause such areas to fall into disrepair, either by accident, negligence or purpose, so that the whole or any part thereof becomes a danger to life, limb, or property.

It shall also be unlawful for any such owner, lessor or occupant to allow the effective use of such areas to become restricted to any degree.  Proper maintenance shall provide for the drainage of storm runoff without damage to the adjoining property, removal of other liquid wastes and solid debris, removal of dirt deposits and other foreign substances and removal of tree limbs, brush or other vegetation hanging lower than seven (7) feet above sidewalks or lower than twelve (12) feet above driveways and parking areas..  Fire lanes, parking spaces and pedestrian walkways must be clearly delineated.  The surfaces of such parking areas and walkways must be preserved in good condition.

Title 9, Chapter 92.52

It shall be the duty, and be considered unlawful to neglect such duty, for the owner, tenant, or occupant of such premises to maintain said areas in good condition.  Should the area at any time become less effective due to insufficient maintenance, it shall be required for the owner or tenant to correct such inadequacies or dangerous conditions within such time as the city may direct.
