Housing and Dangerous Buildings
Housing and Dangerous Buildings enforces City and State mandated codes relating to residential and commercial structures that are dangerous, substandard, blighted, or vacant. This division also enforces codes related to pests and mechanical noise through our environmental health section. Building inspections are performed for permit holders repairing or demolishing substandard structures.
Building owners are legally required to maintain their property to the standards set forth in the City Housing and Dangerous Building Codes. If a structure is to remain vacant for more than three months, the owner is required to pay a monitoring fee to the City. In addition, fines may be levied if the property is not clean and secure.
