Owners and operators are responsible to take such reasonable steps as necessary to ensure that the citizens of the city who occupy such units may pursue the quiet enjoyment of the normal activities of life in surroundings that are: safe, secure and sanitary; free from noise, nuisance or annoyances; and free from unreasonable fears about safety of persons and security of property.
