.B. It is as important to the public health, safety and welfare for interested residents of the city or the city to be able to abate nuisance-creating behaviors as it is to abate nuisance-creating physical conditions.
C.The owners of properties within the city are responsible to monitor their properties and to take appropriate action if a nuisance exists thereon, whether that nuisance be created by existing physical conditions or by nuisance-creating behaviors. Such nuisances can be avoided with adequate property management. If property owners do not fulfill their responsibilities, it is necessary for the safety, health and welfare of neighborhoods and the city as a whole that interested persons or the city be able to undertake abatement action.
D.Neighborhood health and safety must be protected in a way which does not promote housing discrimination or promote evictions based on prejudice, unfounded fears, or personal animosities.
