(1)

All buildings or structures that have become deteriorated through natural causes or by damage through exposure to the elements, especially wind, hail or rain, or damage through fire, to the extent that the roof, windows and doors, or portions of the house, building or structure which protect from the weather, will no longer reasonably protect from the weather.

(2)

All buildings or structures which constitute, or in which are maintained, fire hazards.

(3)

All buildings or structures which are so structurally deteriorated that they are in danger of collapse, or which cannot be expected to withstand reasonable anticipated storms and/or hurricanes.

(4)

All buildings or structures so constructed or permitted to be so constructed as to constitute a menace to health or safety, including all conditions conducive to the harboring of rats or mice or other disease-carrying animals or insects reasonably calculated to spread disease, including such conditions hazardous to safety as adequate bracing or the use of deteriorated materials.
