The Code Enforcement Unit seeks to maintain the quality of the existing housing stock by implementing and enforcing residential property maintenance laws. Primary enforcement efforts are directed toward issues affecting public health, safety, and welfare. The Unit augments community-oriented code enforcement programs with its Pro-Active Code Enforcement Program. This program provides greater outreach, particularly to the Russian and Spanish speaking communities, to increase their involvement in code enforcement. The Pro-Active Code Enforcement Program also includes a pilot program for building-wide inspections in the East Side Redevelopment Area. Other special projects are the identification of units constructed or remodeled without appropriate permits, a special emphasis on vacant and abandoned properties, and compliance with smoke detector laws.
