What is the procedure for following up on possible code violations?

Town staff responds to code enforcement complaints according to the impact of the violation on the community. Situations that appear to pose a serious risk to health and safety are given top priority; others are pursued in the order in which they are received.

For all types of code complaints, the first step in the follow-up procedure is personal contact by a Town staff member to ascertain if a code violation exists and request remediation. Suppose the individual responsible for the situation is not available or appears unwilling to correct the code violation in a timely manner voluntarily. In that case, a notice of violation or a citation may be issued. The Town may also take court action if the situation poses a significant risk to the community or if the individual has ignored previous notices/citations.
