Overview
To keep our city's neighborhoods safe and looking nice, the Department of Housing and Community Development has a special division called Code Enforcement. This group makes sure that people follow the rules about housing, where you can build things, and other important regulations concerning property maintenance.
The information on these pages is here to help people who rent out homes, homeowners, renters, and community groups understand the rules and how they can work with us to make sure everyone follows these rules.
