(a) Nothing in this chapter shall prevent the strengthening or restoring to a safe condition any structure or part thereof declared to be unsafe, except as noted in subsection (b), by order of any official charged with protecting the public safety, nor shall it prevent alterations necessary for compliance with requirements of other governmental agencies.

(b) If a nonconforming development or portion of a development containing a nonconforming use becomes physically unsafe or unlawful because of lack of repairs or maintenance and is declared by any duly authorized official to be unsafe or unlawful by reason of physical condition, it shall not thereafter be restored, repaired or rebuilt except in conformity with the regulations of the district in which it is located.
