Under Mascoutah Ch. 29 Art. III § 29-3-1, property owners and managers are generally expected to ensure that the exterior of their properties, including grounds and structures, meets at least the minimum maintenance conditions outlined throughout Article III. Compliant operators typically conduct regular inspections of exterior areas to identify and address conditions that may fall below those minimums.
