Code Enforcement
It is the City’s policy to investigate and attempt to resolve all code violations. However, because of limited code enforcement resources, there may be times when all code violations cannot be given the same level of attention.
The City has established the following priority ranking for code violations:
- Priority Cases: Priority shall be given for those violations that present an imminent threat to public health or safety; violations affecting rivers, streams and/or other adjacent wetland areas; violations of land uses, including failure to meet deadlines of conditional approvals; violations consisting of ongoing unpermitted construction.
- Habitual Violator Cases: Priority shall be given to code violations in which the property owner has had three or more violations in a thirty-six (36) month period of time.
- Non-Priority Cases: Complaints alleging code violations that do not fall within the priority ranking above should be processed in the order in which the complaints are received, and as code enforcement resources allow.
