(7) No enforcement action is currently pending against the property or its owner before the City's building and standards commission or under any other City ordinance; provided, however, that a secured building permit may be issued upon a finding by the building and standards commission in an enforcement proceeding, and in response to a request by the owner, that a property the subject of such proceeding is otherwise qualified for such a permit. In the event of such a finding, the property owner shall comply with all the terms and conditions for the issuance of said permit as set out herein, and upon issuance of such permit, the enforcement action then pending before the building and standards commission shall be abated, but not dismissed. For so long as a valid secured building permit is maintained for the property, the pending enforcement action shall remain in abated status, but at such time as the property is no longer governed by a valid secured building permit, the abated enforcement action shall be placed upon an ensuing agenda of the building and standards commission for review and subsequent action. Section 7-83. Effect of issuance of a secured building permit. For such time as any building is governed by a valid, unexpired secured building permit, and all conditions for the original issuance of said permit shall continue to be satisfied, including proper security of the building and all utilities remaining disconnected, the building shall be exempted from complying with all internal nonstructural requirements of the City building code, or other applicable codes of the City of Paris, save and except the City Fire Code, which shall continue to apply as to any condition of the building which constitutes an immediate fire hazard. In addition, while such building continues to be governed by a valid, unexpired permit for which all conditions continue to be met as specified in this article, no enforcement action shall be taken by the City of Paris pursuant to Article III, Chapter 7 of the Code of Ordinances, generally referred to as the dangerous buildings ordinance. Section 7-84. Maintaining a secured building permit. The building owner shall be responsible for keeping the building at all times in full compliance with the terms and conditions ofthe secured building permit. Ifthe building shall become noncompliant with the terms and provisions of this article, as found by the building official or as found by the building and standards commission on appeal from a decision of the building official, then any outstanding secured building permit shall be revoked.
