Re: 2009 International Property Maintenance Code Adoption
The City of Kenai has historically adopted the latest edition of the International Property
Maintenance Code as the standard for the maintenance of existing structures in the City.
The City is adopting the other International Codes that work in conjunction with the
Property Maintenance Code for consistency of enforcement.
I therefore recommend the adoption of the 2009 International Property Maintenance Code
as amended to consistently enforce the International Code standards to include the
maintenance of existing properties.
