What is the law regarding property maintaince? What is the codes department doing to help clean up Reading?
Reading has adopted the International Property Maintenance Code 2003 edition with local amendments and our inspectors are on the streets enforcing this code. We are doing inspections, giving notices of violations, issue citations with recommended fines as applicable and responding to complaints as well. Our department has broken the city into nine sections and we have one inspector per section. The Codes division also has three floating inspectors to help with the overflow. Our inspectors are expected to be on the street for six hours during their eight-hour workday.
