§ 9-12.104. Placards.

Official jurisdiction placards use three (3) categories to designate the condition for continued occupancy of buildings and/or structures as follows:

(a)

Inspected - Lawful Occupancy Permitted. This category description is to be posted on any building and/or structure wherein no apparent structural hazard has been found. This placard is not intended to mean that there is no damage to the building and/or structure.

(b)

Restricted Use. This category description is to be posted on each building and/or structure that has been damaged wherein the damage has resulted in some form of restriction to the continued occupancy. The individual who posts this placard shall note the type of damage encountered and shall note the restrictions on continued occupancy.

(c)

Unsafe - Do Not Enter or Occupy. This category description is to be posted on each building and/or structure that has been damaged such that continued occupancy poses a threat to life safety. Buildings and/or structures posted with this placard shall not be entered under any circumstance except as authorized in writing by the Building Official, or his or her authorized representative. Safety assessment teams shall be authorized to enter these buildings and/or structures at any time. This placard is not to be used or considered as a demolition order. The individual who posts this placard shall note the type of damage encountered.
