What is the process for resolving a code violation?

Police Department/Code Enforcement will investigate the property in question to determine if there is a violation and will follow up with the owner or contractor. Generally a letter is sent informing the owner or responsible party of the specific violation(s) with instructions on how to resolve the problem and a timeframe for correcting the problem. If a code violation is not corrected as required, a citation may be issued.

How are codes enforced?

The code enforcement process is typically initiated in several ways:

1) In response to a complaint by an individual or a neighborhood association.

2) Observation of a code violation by City staff.

3) As a result of an action (for example, an application for a building permit is taken out and a violation is noticed).
