Synopsis

Received a property maintenance violation? Or wondering why the government isn't doing something about a property in your neighborhood?
This book gives you an inside look at how Property Maintenance departments actually work—from complaints and inspections to violation notices, repairs, reinspection, and serious enforcement actions.
Written by a Building Official and former Property Maintenance department manager, the author explains what property maintenance codes mean in practical terms and, just as importantly, what government can and cannot enforce.
Inside, You'll Discover:

• What really happens after a complaint or violation notice
• What Property Maintenance departments can—and cannot—enforce
• How to recognize common property maintenance violations
• How to work with inspectors and protect yourself during the process
• What happens when enforcement escalates to serious action

If you've received a violation, are considering filing a complaint, or are simply curious about what happens behind the scenes, this book provides a practical look at the people, processes, responsibilities, and limitations of property maintenance enforcement.
Understand the code. Understand the process. Understand the limits.
