Subject, as aforesaid, the landlord of a lodging-house shall, in the
same period, except in such cases as are hereinafter specified in this
by-law, cause every area, the interior surface of every ceiling and
wall of every water-closet belonging to the premises, and the interior
surface of every ceiling and wall of every room, staircase, and

where lime-washing is necessary for effective cleansing.
Subject, as aforesaid, where the internal surface of the rooms,

in the same period aforesaid cause such surface to be thoroughly
cleansed and the paint or other covering thereof to be renewed if the
renewal thereof shall be necessary for the purpose of keeping the
premises in a cleanly and wholesome condition.
Provided always that where such cleansing or lime-washing or
removal of paint as is hereinbefore prescribed shall have been duly
carried out at any time within three months prior to the months
aforesaid, nothing in the said by-law contained shall be deemed to
require such cleansing, lime-washing, or removal of paint in any of
the months aforesaid save in so far as the same shall be necessary
for the purpose of keeping the premises in a cleanly and wholesome
condition.
