Operative Text
It is the purpose of this chapter to assist in the continued revitalization of areas throughout the Village to attract new businesses, promote the public interest in continued development, ensure regular maintenance and improvements to present structures, safeguard against blight and preserve property values and community standards and to establish minimum maintenance standards to safeguard life, limb, health, safety, property and the public welfare in the best interest of the residents of the Village of Nyack.

The chapter is framed as a public-interest measure aimed at protecting health, safety, property values, and community standards. It does not itself impose specific requirements but instead articulates the goals that the rest of the chapter's provisions are designed to achieve.
