What is the purpose of Code Enforcement and who can I contact for Code Enforcement related questions?
The Code Enforcement Division maintains and improves the City’s neighborhoods and housing stock through the enforcement of property maintenance, zoning ordinances, building codes, health and safety codes. Through code enforcement inspections, inquiries and citizen complaints, property owners, residents and staff have significantly reduced the number of blighted properties throughout the community. The City has two code enforcement inspectors whose responsibility is to investigate complaints of property maintenance and municipal code violations. After an inspection is made to determine the validity, nature, and extent of violation(s) and if a code violation is observed, the property owner is informed and given an opportunity to bring the property into compliance. If corrective action is not completed in a reasonable time, or manner, the City may file a criminal complaint through the City Attorney’s office.
