It is hereby found and declared that the city of Monroe contains great numbers of unsightly and unsafe properties and dilapidated structures which have become a liability to the community. Such conditions give rise to the spread of disease and crime, impair the economic value of property upon which they are situated, and necessitate excessive and disproportionate expenditures for crime prevention, public health, welfare and safety programs, fire and accident protection, and other services. As a result of the conditions of dilapidated structures and noxious matters within the city, the city finds it has a compelling interest and purpose in the abatement of these nuisances, which are not exclusive. It is further found that the present system utilized by the city to address these problems of unsightly and unsafe properties and dilapidated structures, is in need of additional authority to enforce the ordinances and regulations of the city applicable to such properties, including but not limited to the city's building, fire, and zoning codes.
