The text
A.
By establishing performance standards or by establishing obligations to act, it is the intent of the city council that city employees and officers are exercising discretionary authority in pursuit of an essential governmental function and that any such standards or obligations shall not be construed as creating a ministerial duty for purposed of tort liability.
B.
Obtaining a vacant building permit is not a substitute for effective property management and does not supersede any of the property owner's responsibilities.
C.
Obtaining a permit does not prevent an enforcement official from taking action against a property owner, nor does taking action under this section prevent the city from seeking additional enforcement actions, including civil or criminal citations, or the abatement of violations or unsafe conditions.
