Introduction

This vacancy supports the Livable City Initiative.

Housing Code Enforcement
The Housing Code is an Ordinance establishing minimum standards governing the condition and maintenance of dwellings; establishing minimum standard governing supplied utilities and facilities and other physical things and conditions essential to make dwellings safe, sanitary and fit for human habitation; establishing minimum standards governing the condition of dwellings offered for rent; fixing certain responsibilities and duties of owners and occupants of dwellings; authorizing the inspection of dwellings; and the condemnation of dwelling units for human habitation; and fixing penalties for violation.This also includes an emergency repair program, condemnation of unfit dwellings and an annual rooming house inspection program. The City's approach to Code Enforcement is to work with residents and property owners to quickly mediate problems, and when this is not possible, cases are then referred to Housing Court.

The Code Enforcement Division performs other activities, such as State Tax Abatement Inspections, Residential Rental Business License Program Inspections (RRBLP), and Rooming House/Hotel and Motel Inspections.
