 The Code Compliance Section is managed by a Principal Planner and is responsible for the investigation
and enforcement of complaints of zoning and building violations. In addition, this Section offers staff and
administrative support for Neglected Property, Hazardous Building/Site Abatement Programs and the
Environmental Cleanup Revolving Fund.
These programs generally operate in responses to citizen
complaints of alleged code violations or from referrals from other
public agencies. These complaints are investigated and, if appropriate,
warning and/or violation notices are issued. These actions may be followed
by additional legal sanctions, such as recordation, fines, or civil penalties.
The overall objective of the code enforcement process is to motivate the
property owner to discontinue the illegal use or activity and/or to obtain
the required permits. |
