The Code Division is comprised of one Senior Code Officer and six Code Enforcement Officers. These individuals have the task of investigating complaints, and enforcement of City Housing Ordinances, regarding both owner and non-owner, occupied structures.
Demolition
This division also plays a major role in the demolition process of abandoned and structurally unsafe buildings within the City. This is completed in part by conducting a field inspection and assessing the status of the building(s), then working with our clerical staff to research property records, current owner information, and related documentation.
