What steps does Code Enforcement take when going out to investigate a complaint, and what is the notification process?
A. When a complaint is turned in to code enforcement the initial inspection is typically conducted within 48 hours, and if a code violation is confirmed, notification is either given in person or by certified mail. Different violations are given different time periods to comply. For instance, a high grass or unsightly matter violation must be corrected within 7 days, while a junked vehicle violation must be corrected within 10 days. Violations that are a danger to the health and safety of the community are given less time to comply.
